Women’s Pavilion & Birthplace – Raleigh
3000 New Bern Avenue, Raleigh, NC
 There's no feeling like the joy you experience from having a baby. At WakeMed Women’s Pavilion & Birthplace – Raleigh, our primary goal is to give mothers the support and encouragement they need to make the birth expereience a memory they'll treasure forever. In Raleigh, most patients deliver in a comfortable, private birthing room that resembles home, complete with a marble bath with tub and shower to help ease the pain of labor. Staff and equipment are brought to the mother so that her birth experience can be a private time. If the mother’s doctor advises a Cesarean birth, surgical suites are right down the hall.
If dad chooses to spend the night, he can take advantage of the comfortable sleep chair in the mother’s room. The newborn nursery is located right outside mom’s door. A refreshment center is also available around the clock for new parents, and a late-night menu of prepared foods can be cooked in a microwave for moms who deliver in the middle of the night.
If problems arise during a mother’s pregnancy or her baby’s birth, there is no better place to be than WakeMed Women’s Pavilion & Birthplace. The medical staff at the Women’s Pavilion & Birthplace – Raleigh, which includes a perinatologist who specializes in high-risk pregnancies, supports the doctor or midwife caring for a mother if she is hospitalized during her pregnancy. WakeMed’s highly skilled team of nurses, physicians and other health care professionals are available to handle unexpected complications that may arise during delivery. Our Raleigh Campus is also home to the county's most experienced and technologically advanced Intensive Care Nursery. Staff by eight full-time neonatologists - physicians who specialize in caring for critically ill newborns, our Level IV Intensive Care Nursery is also one of only seven national training sites for specialists in infant development.
