The birth of a baby is an important and exciting time. At SRMC, we are honored to share this incredible experience with your family. From your first prenatal visit with our qualified health care providers, we are here to make this a smooth and enjoyable experience.
When you are ready to welcome your baby, our spacious labor and delivery rooms allow for you and your support system to move about comfortably while remaining in a private department. For your comfort during your labor experience (or for Cesarean sections), our anesthesia staff is available.
Our qualified and committed staff are waiting to serve you and make this time special and memorable. Our focus on the development of healthy moms and babies starts with the first visit. Delivering healthy babies means the start of healthy families. Our team of dedicated physicians work with you to provide attentive, compassionate care for you and your baby during pregnancy, delivery, and beyond.
After delivery, newborns room with their moms in their hospital room. Moms and babies are cared for by our nurses who are trained in postpartum and newborn care. Our nurses will monitor you and your baby for any post-delivery complications and review any questions you have before going home. We also have a lactation consultant to help assist nursing mothers.
SRMC’s international Lorna Storm, Board-certified lactation consultant, has undergone specialized training and certification to offer support, advice, and guidance to mothers who choose to breastfeed. Lactation consultants help with milk supply, breastfeeding positions, and other common nursing problems. Their assistance is usually needed during the first few weeks of baby’s life when he or she is still learning how to breastfeed; however, you can receive lactation services at any time while breastfeeding or pumping. You can schedule a visit with Lorna while you are still pregnant, right after you give birth, or several months into breastfeeding. Call 308-254-5825 to learn more.
SRMC has partnered with YoMingo to provide our patients with a parent education program to help new parents prepare for their little one.

Educational content covers pregnancy, labor and birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and newborn care, while tools include a contraction timer, kick counter, feeding log, diaper log, journal, and more. With the YoMingo app, your journey into parenthood is as easy as 1-2-3!

Congratulations on your new baby! There are specific steps that parents, grandparents, and caregivers can take to keep babies healthy and safe. Sadly, babies die each year in Nebraska due to unsafe sleep practices. That is why we urge you to learn and share the ABCs of safe sleep.
