OB / Maternity

Women’s Center at Decatur County Memorial Hospital

Women who give birth in the Women’s Center at Decatur County Memorial Hospital receive exceptional care. Each year, our obstetricians and family practitioners deliver hundreds of babies, while our specially-trained nurses care for mothers and newborns.

A woman’s body is a fascinating element of nature, never more so than when new life is growing inside. Pregnancy is an experience without comparison that only a mother who has felt life growing within her can fully comprehend. Our facilities are designed to offer beautiful labor/delivery and postpartum rooms that are private and comfortable. A large comfortable waiting room is available for family and friends waiting on the big event.

The Women’s Center at Decatur County Memorial Hospital is the birthing center of choice in our region.

Prenatal Classes

To help you prepare for the birth of your baby, the Women’s Center at Decatur County Memorial Hospital offers Childbirth Education classes. These classes are offered at no charge as part of our ongoing commitment to the community. Childbirth classes teach the mother-to-be and her coach to work together during the labor & delivery process. Special emphasis is placed on relaxation and breathing techniques during labor. A tour of our facility will also be given. For more information or to register for the class, call 812-663-1240.
