The Fetal Center at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital not only cares for you and your baby, but your entire family. They provide everything your family needs to make informed decisions. The Fetal Center wants to partner with your family to ensure that the best care is delivered to both mother and baby.
Lactation Consultants
Le Bonheur’s lactation consultants offer support specifically for Fetal Center families that is more in-depth than traditional breastfeeding classes. They cover topics like how to provide milk for a newborn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and pumping techniques to maximize your supply.
Preparing Siblings
If you have children who need help learning about their new sibling’s special needs, Le Bonheur’s child life specialists are available. Using age appropriate resources, child life specialists can help siblings feel like a part of the process.
Parent Mentors
If you would like to talk with a family who has been through a similar experience at the Fetal Center, one is available through our Parent Mentor Program. The Fetal Center’s parent mentor can offer support and guidance, and discuss her experience with the Fetal Center.
Spiritual Care
Spiritual care advisors are available to speak with your family about any ethical issues you may be facing, or to simply pray with your family. Having a high risk pregnancy is stressful, and our spiritual staff is here to provide comfort and support.
