Labor & Delivery at St. Rose Dominican

More than 4,000 babies are born every year at St. Rose Dominican's Siena and San Martín Campuses.

The St. Rose Dominican labor and delivery teams look forward to supporting you as you bring a new life into the world. Find a St. Rose obstetrician.

Features of our program include:

  • Comfortable birthing suites. We designed our suites to reflect our family-centered philosophy and facilitate family bonding. We encourage significant others to spend the night on the pullout beds in the patient rooms and allow the mother to decide who can be present in the labor and delivery room during the birth experience.
  • Your birth, your choice. At St. Rose Dominican, we empower you to deliver your baby in the way that is most comfortable to you. We will support you during the birth process, whether you want to deliver in an unconventional position, walk or sit during labor or opt out of intravenous lines.
  • Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) program. St. Rose Dominican has a strong VBAC program, which makes it possible for women who had previous C-section births to have a natural birth experience. With the guidance and support of our expert labor and delivery team, many women have a smooth, natural birth.
  • Advanced neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). If your baby requires extra services and attention, the Level II and Level III NICUs at St. Rose Dominican provide specialized critical care for our littlest patients. Learn more about our NICUs. 
  • Attentive care. Having a baby is both exciting and stressful. This is why, during the post-delivery stay, our nursing team provides personalized, dedicated care and support for you and your baby. Whether you need breastfeeding help or advice on how to care for your new baby (or yourself), our experienced team will help you feel confident as a new parent.
  • Prenatal and postpartum education. We offer instructional classes on topics such as infant care, new mother care, breastfeeding and nutrition. Learn more about our classes and events and register online now!
  • Donor breast milk program. St. Rose Dominican is the only hospital in the area with a donor breast milk program. With this program, infants whose mothers cannot breastfeed can receive donated breast milk. Breast milk gives babies the best nutrition possible and offers natural protection against infections.

Labor & Delivery Team: Experience and Expertise

St. Rose Dominican has one of the most experienced and skilled teams in Nevada. Our mother and baby teams consist of:

  • Laborists - Laborists are board certified obstetricians who are available around-the-clock in our Birth Centers. They can examine soon-to-be-moms, evaluate the progress of labor, and provide a safe delivery if your physician is unavailable or delayed.
  • Neonatologists
  • Maternal fetal medicine specialists
  • Nurses with 20 hours of breastfeeding education through the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA)
  • Lactation consultants, counselors and educators
  • Obstetrical surgeons
  • Obstetrical anesthesiologists
  • "Scrub techs," health care professionals who specialize in surgical support

Nearly a dozen of our nurses are International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), while more than two dozen nurses are Certified Lactation Counselors/Certified Lactation Educators (CLCs/CLEs) through the ILCA. This certification means they can offer exceptional breastfeeding support to new moms. In addition, you can feel confident that even when your doctor is not currently in the hospital, he or she is monitoring your baby's progress via their mobile device. This way, your doctor receives constant updates about your care.

 

Baby-Friendly Designations

St. Rose Dominican's San Martín and Siena Campuses are the first Baby-Friendly Hospitals in southern Nevada. The designation is earned through the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), a global initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). As part of this commitment to infant care, we:

  • Encourage immediate skin-to-skin contact between mother and child
  • Help initiate breastfeeding within the first hour of life, if the mother chooses to breastfeed
  • Provide intensive breastfeeding training to our entire labor and delivery staff, including doctors, lactation specialists and labor and delivery nurses
