Care for your health during the pandemic: Pregnancy and Birth

Your health needs don’t stop because of COVID-19. Northfield Hospital + Clinics doesn’t stop, either.

We are caring for essential health needs during the pandemic. With systemwide precautions in all our locations – plus Video Visits – we can care for you safely.

Prenatal care: The Women’s Health Center has condensed all care into fewer appointments, so moms get all the care they need with fewer visits to the clinic. Of course, we’ll see an expectant mom at any point if she or her provider has concerns. 

After the first clinic appointment (around 8-10 weeks), expectant mothers have a regular schedule of in-clinic prenatal appointments at 16, 20, 28, 32 and 36 weeks . . . then weekly until the baby is born.

Birth: We’re committed to giving you the safest, most comfortable birth experience possible. We’re taking extensive precautions in our Birth Center to protect you and your baby, with the full resources of a hospital and doctors and care team as needed.

Precautions include:

Visitor restrictions Health screening for all patients Personal Protective Equipment for staff – gown, face shield or mask, gloves Rigorous hand hygiene
