Postpartum care

Our Family Birthing Unit provides a nurturing environment to support your family in bonding with your baby following delivery. We practice rooming in and skin-to-skin care immediately following birth and offer personalized breastfeeding instruction, if you'd like.

Postpartum depression support

Pregnancy and birth are wondrous and life-changing experiences. As such, many women experience the "baby blues" after birth, which may be described as feelings of sadness and fatigue. However, if these feelings last for more than a short time, it could be postpartum depression.

If you feel you may have postpartum depression, you're not alone. Postpartum depression is common. In fact, about one in eight women report having postpartum depression symptoms.

We recommend talking with your OB/GYN or nurse if you experience postpartum depression symptoms, as they can help you get the support and resources you need to feel better. Seeking help is the first step to feeling like yourself again.

A very special Father's Day

On Sunday, Michael Rawling celebrated his first Father's Day with his 6-day old son. His wife, Ellen, gave birth to 9-pound, 10-ounce Phillip Michael Rawling on June 13 at UCF Lake Nona Hospital. As first-time parents, Ellen and Michael are in awe of their beautiful baby and grateful for their family-centered birth, especially the way the care team made sure Michael could experience every aspect of his son's arrival to the fullest.
