Level II Special Care Nursery

While most deliveries progress according to plan, it’s important to schedule your delivery at a hospital prepared for the unexpected. The only one of its kind in Edmond, the INTEGRIS Health Edmond Hospital Women's Center provides maternal-fetal services for expecting moms as early as 34 weeks gestation.

Our special care nursery, also known as a LEVEL 2 special care nursery, is equipped with leading-edge technology, including monitors, warmers and respiratory equipment. The nursery offers an intimate environment where light, temperature and noise are controlled to help promote baby’s growth for infants born after 34 weeks or weighing greater than 1500 grams. This includes infants who have physiologic immaturity or who are moderately ill with problems expected to resolve rapidly and are not anticipated to need subspecialty services on an urgent basis.

This may also include providing:

• Care for infants convalescing after intensive care (need to feed, grow and maintain body temperature).
• Respiratory assistance using continuous pressure support for less than 24 hours.
• Stabilization for infants born earlier than 34 weeks or weighing less than 1500 grams until transfer to a Level 3 NICU.

INTEGRIS Health Edmond Women’s Center is proud to offer a level 2 special care nursery.

Cuddle Time

INTEGRIS Health Women’s Services developed “Cuddle Time”, between the hours of 2 – 4 p.m. During this period, no visits are made, unless requested by new moms or medically necessary. New mothers may do whatever they wish during this time, whether it be breastfeeding, reading, watching TV or resting. Evidence-based research shows that giving patients uninterrupted time to rest promotes health and healing, and allows mothers to establish breastfeeding.

Giving birth can be a mixed bag of joy and exhaustion coupled with the anticipation of starting a new chapter of life with a family addition.

While visits from staff, family and friends are helpful and warming, they can also be taxing on a new mom who is trying to get some needed rest and bond with baby.

Breastfeeding

The INTEGRIS Health Edmond nursing staff works together as a team along with lactation services staff to provide care, instruction, and demonstration to help you establish effective breastfeeding. We encourage you to prepare for breastfeeding by participating in breastfeeding classes offered through prenatal education and reading. An effective guide to breastfeeding is available online. Or, to find out more about breastfeeding from INTEGRIS Health Edmond Women's Center, please call 405-657-3250.
