Labor and delivery
Just as every baby is unique, so is every delivery. As your trusted care partner, we work to provide a personalized birthing experience that begins long before your first contraction and continues well after delivery.

Labor and delivery care we offer
We recently received the Healthgrades Labor and Delivery Excellence Award™ for our superior clinical care of women during and after childbirth. In addition, HCA Houston Healthcare Southeast is a designated Texas Ten Step hospital, meaning our maternity care practices fully support breastfeeding.
Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
Our NICU is prepared to care for babies who need specialized medical attention. Here, board-certified neonatologists work with neonatal nurse practitioners, who staff the unit 24/7. Registered nurses also monitor and care for each baby in the unit.
We work hard to follow your birth plan and support the bonding experience between you and your baby. The first hour after birth is when your baby is most alert. This is the time for skin-to-skin contact, cuddling, holding, bonding and establishing breastfeeding. Your nurse-midwife will be with you to guide you through those first moments, and we also have certified lactation consultants available. Our support services include:
- Breastfeeding support
- High-risk pregnancy care
- Level III NICU
- Maternity classes and support groups
- Midwifery services
- Prenatal care
If you are considering delivering at HCA Healthcare Houston Southeast, we invite you to tour our women's services facility or find an OB/GYN. In addition, we offer women's health services related to breast health and gynecology.
