Labor and Delivery
At Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital, we know that pregnancy is a journey that begins before you’re even pregnant and continues after delivery. That’s why we offer comprehensive services, from family planning to postnatal classes, and everything in between.
The Kishwaukee Hospital Obstetrics Unit is staffed with experienced, compassionate nurses who are committed to providing exceptional care. Our goal is to help you have a safe, rewarding birth experience that aligns with your personal preferences.
Our clinical team of OB-GYN specialists, nurses and patient care technicians can also address your unique needs, from pain relief and delivery method options to postpartum counseling.
The maternity suites at Kishwaukee Hospital are specially designed and equipped to allow you to labor, deliver, recover and receive postpartum care in one spacious, comfortable room throughout your stay.

Please review our visitor policies.
Northwestern Medicine encourages you to spend time with your loved ones and friends during their hospital stay.
Following baby’s birth, visitors are encouraged to allow three to four hours of recovery time before visiting. Friends and family may wait in the family waiting area.
The first hour after birth is called the Sacred Hour. During this time, parents have uninterrupted time for bonding, skin-to-skin contact and initiating breastfeeding in a gentle and soothing environment. If you have questions or want more information about the Sacred Hour and our initiative to promote breastfeeding, please ask a Kishwaukee Hospital maternity suites nurse.
You, the patient, can tell us when you would or would not like to have visitors. State regulations do not allow visitors under age 12 unless they are the brother or sister of the newborn. An adult must accompany children at all times.
Individuals who have temperatures, colds, sore throats or any contagious diseases should not visit patients.
Visitor policies can change without notice. Be sure to review nm.org/visitors for current policies.
