Obstetrics at the WCH Women’s Pavilion

Our top-notch obstetrical team delivers the expert care and special touch you require to make the birth of your baby a cherished, memorable occasion. The nursing staff and providers offer flexibility in the labor and delivery experience to accommodate birth plans and respect your wishes. We have the personal touch and close-to-home feel of a smaller hospital.

At the WCH Women's Pavilion, our unique birthing plans include rooming in, where the newborn’s crib is kept by the side of the mother’s bed, and at least a full hour of uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact is encouraged after delivery.

For the majority of women in our care, vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is an option — which allows mothers to choose the birth experience they want to have. In addition, lowering the rate of unnecessary first-time C-sections has been a priority of ours at WCH for years. New mothers recover more quickly after a vaginal childbirth, and the costs are much lower.

The Women’s Pavilion is a Level II maternity service; so, if complications arise before or after delivery, families can be appropriately cared for. Wooster Community Hospital works in collaboration with Akron Children’s Hospital to offer a Special Care Nursery that can care for newborns requiring additional care. This means families will not have to be separated for certain high-risk conditions.

Use this birth preference worksheet to assist you as you plan for the arrival of your little one. This sheet can help you communicate with your healthcare team your desires during the labor and birth experience. We encourage you to go over your preferences with your healthcare providers during prenatal appointments and ask any questions you may have. We also welcome you to bring the worksheet with you to the hospital because we strive to provide each patient with individualized care. We look forward to caring for your family on this special day.

Safe Sleep Is Good4Baby

The Ohio Hospital Association has launched an exciting statewide initiative, Safe Sleep Is Good4Baby, which advocates that all infants sleep alone, on their backs, and in a crib. The campaign focuses on:

  • Modeling safe sleep practices in the hospital
  • Educating parents and families about safe sleep practices at home
  • Advocating and educating community members about the importance of safe sleep

Wooster Community Hospital is proud to be part of the initiative that aims to reduce sleep-related infant mortality, such as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

First Steps for Healthy Babies

WCH’s maternity care center has been awarded recognition for its efforts to promote, protect, and support successful breastfeeding. The First Steps for Healthy Babies program is a breastfeeding initiative by the Ohio Hospital Association and the Ohio Department of Health.

Birthing Options

If you are planning a home birth but need medical intervention, we have relationships with many midwives in the community and can work with your home-birth provider for a seamless transition in care.

For your obstetrical care, visit the providers at Bloomington Women’s Care, Monarch OBGYN, Cleveland Clinic Women's Center and Dr. Amelia Laing. They offer a spectrum of OB services including fertility evaluations, miscarriage treatment, pregnancy testing, prenatal health, vaginal and cesarean delivery, and more.
