Florida Hospital Altamonte's Birth Center

Delivering a Personalized Birth Experience

Expectant mothers now have a choice in their delivery!

Florida Hospital Altamonte's new hospital-based birth center provides women with more birthing options within the safety of a hospital setting. Florida Hospital Altamonte's Birth Center is the only maternity unit to offer a birthing center within a hospital, which allows women the opportunity to customize their birth experience, giving them more power and involvement in the birthing process.

The incorporation of the birthing center experience was created to offer women the opportunity to choose a birth plan that best fits their individual needs, while still having immediate access to advanced medical care. Click here to print a copy of our birthing plan.

Whether you plan on having a natural birth or Anesthesia during childbirth, we want you to know the choice is YOURS and we are here to help you every step of the way.

With six labor and delivery rooms, we're seeing new arrivals all the time! Our labor and delivery unit also has a Level One nursery with neonatology and transportation teams if needed.  Our facility also features two post-anesthesia care units and two operating rooms for babies born via cesarean section.

We have 17 private mother/baby rooms, two of which are "birthday suites." Our family-centered birthday suites are larger rooms where recovery and postpartum take place. We encourage the father or a support person to be with you throughout your stay, to make you as comfortable as possible. Each room has a comfortable place for your partner to stay while you are recovering. We encourage siblings and family to be with you during this exciting time.

In addition to traditional options while laboring, Florida Hospital Altamonte specializes in alternative birthing methods for low-risk births, including the use of birthing balls and squatting bars. Moms can choose from aromatherapy and personally selected music, as well as other relaxation aids during labor and delivery. The hospital also offers new mobile fetal monitoring, enabling moms to walk around freely or labor in a Jacuzzi tub, while continuing to monitor the baby's heartbeat.

The Birth Center at Florida Hospital has been recently remodeled, with home-like décor and amenities, including wood floors, lighting control, extra seating for family, upgraded linens and toiletries, and a large screen television with free movies on demand and internet services. We want you to feel at home while you are in labor.
