Labor & Delivery

Our Birthing Suites
Saddleback Memorial has one of the best reputations for maternity centers in Orange County. The center offers a modern, attractive environment that is quiet and calming. Your entire birthing experience takes place in a private labor, delivery, recovery suite, complete with a bathroom and shower. Each suite is equipped with a state-of-the art birthing bed that allows you to deliver in a position that makes you most comfortable. Of course your coach or partner is welcome to stay at all times and siblings can visit.

Post-Delivery Extras
All postpartum rooms are private with large windows. The maternity nurses provide education and information on breastfeeding and baby care, as well as feedings, diapering and other needs.

Post Operative Care
We offer MemoricalCare quality and luxurious comfort in Saddleback's 15 dedicated rooms for post-surgical obstetric and gynecological care.

High Risk Perinatology
We deliver more than 3,000 babies annually, and of these, approximately 10 percent are high-risk births referred from throughout Orange County.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Our NICU offers round the clock neonatologists, specialized nurses, respiratory therapists, and equipment to provide intensive care to infants whenever needed.
