Whether you’re just beginning to grow your family or already a parent, Oroville Hospital’s obstetric team is here to guide patients and their partners through preconception, pregnancy, delivery and postpartum experiences. Whether your pregnancy is considered normal or high risk, our extensive team of board certified obstetricians, midwives, maternity nurses and lactation consultants provide a comforting pregnancy and delivery experience based on best practices and the highest quality care and safety standards.

We empower our obstetric patients through education and create custom delivery plans based on a patient’s desires and health status. Take advantage of our free childbirth preparation classes, which provide hands-on practice and teach patients coping and breastfeeding techniques, relaxation methods and newborn care.  Advanced 3D/4D ultrasound imaging services give parents 3D details of a baby’s features and showcase his or her movements live.

Additionally, we recognize that everyone experiences pain differently, so you will have access to whatever level of pain management you need. Elect for natural childbirth or ask for assistance with pain management including epidural anesthesia and paracervical blocks.

• Birthing suites that provide a private delivery and allow dad to stay in the room
• Postpartum rooms with beds for mom, dad and baby
