Pregnancy and Birth

The new Maternal Care Center features three comprehensive and beautifully decorated Labor, Delivery, Recovery (LDR) suites complete with all the comforts of home. Each of our nine private rooms has a private bath with shower and whirlpool. The new nursery is located next to the main nurses stations and features the HUGS security system. The Maternal Care Center at Avera Queen of Peace offers a pleasant, modern atmosphere and specialized care to assist mothers with the childbirth process including labor, delivery, recovery, and post-partum phases.

The Maternal Care Center has a family friendly environment with staff dedicated to helping prepare you to take care of your newborn and answer your questions. Approximately 500 babies are born each year at our Maternal Care Center.

Our Maternal Care Center sponsors classes several times a year to help prepare parents and families for the arrival of their baby. Please check our calendar for the schedule for Expectant Parent Classes, Childbirth Preparation, Sibling Classes, and instruction on Infant/Child CPR.
