Our highly trained physicians and nurses partner with your physician to offer the best care for you and your family. About 70 percent of babies seen at the center are born at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin Birth Center located inside Children's Hospital. This means the mother nor the baby needs to be sent to another facility, no matter what complications arise.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital provides the highest level of care available to newborns in the state and can respond immediately to urgent needs of the baby. Learn more:

• Common questions about pregnancy
• Common procedures in the NICU

Having mother and baby under one roof makes it easier for the mother to breastfeed, bond with her baby and allows for families to meet face-to-face with their baby's care providers. It also makes it easier for family members to visit.

Not all babies will need emergency medical care. If this is the case, you can deliver your baby at the hospital of your choice. During your pregnancy, the Fetal Concerns Center can help you plan for your baby's follow-up care by providing education and counseling. Learn more about our services.
