Pregnancy & Newborns Pregnancy is an exciting time for parents-to-be. Use this information to help you make informed decisions from conception through delivery.

Your Newborn Baby Sleeping, eating, crying, cooing—your new arrival will keep you busy. You'll soon figure out his or her patterns and preferences.

There is no joy greater than bringing a new life into the world. The Women's Center at Brownwood Regional Medical Center strives to help you make the birth of your child one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

The Women's Center, which first opened in 1991, has a highly trained staff of nurses and physicians. The obstetrics facility includes four Labor, Delivery, and Recovery Suites creating a more personal childbirth experience for families. The childbirth suites feature birthing beds, comfortable furnishings, and special equipment to care for newborns.

Recently we upgraded and added furnishings and equipment such as postpartum beds, chairs, and tables, apnea monitors, therapy lighting, adult and neonatal cardiac monitors, incubators, bassinets, and more.

Our Level 2 nursery is staffed and equipped to care for healthy infants and babies with complex healthcare needs. Sophisticated monitoring equipment and a qualified, caring staff, track the progress and health of the mother and newborn.

Our Infant Security System identifies and monitors the location of your baby. A small, soft band placed on your baby's leg will trigger alarms and door locks if your baby is moved from the Women's Services area, or if the band is removed by unauthorized personnel. Our staff will be able to pinpoint the location and identity of your baby at all times. You can rest easy.

We implemented a new fetal monitoring system that allows us to monitor not only the baby's heart rate, but also the mothers heart rate, blood pressure and oxygenation. We'll chart this on a computer, spending more time tending to you and less time doing paperwork.

A convenient maternity waiting room, eight patient suites, a pre-delivery labor room and a Caesarian section suite complete the Women's Center facilities.

We're working to improve the hospital you trust to help you with life's most important experiences.
