Laborist
Compassionate Care for a Healthy, Happy Road Ahead
Following the delivery of your baby, you will receive visits from an obstetrician, anesthesiologist, pediatrician and other members of your medical team who will check on your recovery. Your nurse will answer questions and discuss what to expect during
the proceeding hours, days and weeks, including information on pain management and self-care throughout recovery.
Piedmont Medical Center offers the “couplet care” approach through which one nurse provides care for both mom and her new baby, so new mothers always have easy access to updates on the health of their babies.

Piedmont Medical Center is proud to offer an OB/GYN physician laborist program in which a board-certified OB/GYN is available onsite 24/7, ready to care for soon-to-be mothers experiencing premature labor and other urgent medical situations. For any mother-to-be,
it’s comforting to know that expert care is available close to home, even during life’s most unexpected moments.

For newborns requiring additional medical care, Piedmont Medical Center has a South Carolina Level III NICU, allowing us to provide high-quality care for mothers who experience premature delivery and babies who need additional medical treatment. Infant care is managed and performed by a combination of skilled staff, including board-certified neonatologists, registered nurses and respiratory therapists.
Infant Security: You and Your Baby Can Sleep Peacefully Knowing You’re Safe and Sound
Piedmont Medical Center utilizes a technologically advanced security system to monitor your newborn’s safety. Upon delivery, your baby will wear a special bracelet to monitor your baby’s location at all times. Access to the women’s tower
is restricted, limiting individuals on this unit. In addition, Piedmont Medical Center operates closed circuit cameras throughout our hospital to provide additional security of each patient.
