Having children is an important life experience for many women. That's
why we do all we can to involve and inform the family throughout a pregnancy.
We perform regular exams to help ensure the safety and well-being of both mother
and child. Sonograms are performed in the comfort and convenience of our
office so that any questions the family may have can be addressed immediately.
Birthing Choices & Hospital Privileges
At the Women's Center for Health, we believe in comfort, which translates
into flexibility and doing what's best for a woman and her baby. From
natural births to pain management, we provide the opportunities and encouragement to
create a memorable birthing experience that will be treasured for a lifetime.
A unique birth plan is created based on each woman's preferences and
requirements and outlines the physician and delivery choice, directions for
anesthesia if desired, and general delivery room instructions. We strongly
believe the Best Choice for your delivery is to deliver at The Baby Place at
Pekin Hospital. The Women's Center for Health can
also accommodate high-risk pregnancies and our Doctors work closely with the
High Risk specialists of OSF Saint Francis and Methodist.
Our advance practice
nurse also provides well-woman gynecological care, including breast exams, Pap
smears and family planning, and other primary care issues for women.
Breast-feeding Consultation
Delivering a baby is only the beginning of a healthy, happy mother/child
experience. Once the baby is born, our Lactation Consultant, who is
certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultants, is available to
help women to breast-feed their babies. Their assistance helps make a more
comfortable, pleasurable experience that results in better bonding between
mother and child.
