Northwestern Memorial Hospital - Exceptional Care in the Heart of Chicago

What a wonderful time of your life. . .

Having a baby is among the most exciting, important and rewarding things you will do in your lifetime. But it's rarely an easy time -- many women deal with intense emotional and physical challenges during pregnancy.

As a designated Level III (the highest level of care) Perinatal and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, we are here for you. From the very beginning, Prentice Women's Hospital has set the standard for comprehensive pregnancy care with an array of services designed to support you before, during and immediately after the birth of your baby.

Prentice offers you the very latest in routine pregnancy care, high-risk pregnancy, infertility, newborn care and reproductive genetics services to help you have a successful pregnancy and positive experience.

We also offer a new program for pregnant women who are overweight or who have had weight-related pregnancy complications in the past. The program, called Healthy for You, Healthy for 2, focuses on nutrition, exercise, behavior and lifestyle modifications to achieve optimal weight gain during pregnancy.

Deliveries at Prentice have more than doubled over the past two decades, and this number is expected to grow with our expanded capacity for 13,600 births annually.
