Certainly! Stamford Health offers a range of childbirth and new parent classes designed to prepare you for pregnancy, labor, and the early stages of parenthood. These classes cover various topics, including prenatal education, birthing techniques, breastfeeding, and infant care.

Stamford Health recognizes how important visitors are to our patients and their recovery process. We have a patient-directed visitation policy, which means that visitors are welcome according to the patient’s wishes.

During the labor and delivery process, the patient can have two care partners (spouse, family member, etc.) present in their room. A doula (who must provide certification documentation) may be present in addition to the two designated care partners. Our waiting room space on our Hollander Family Birthing Center is limited and frequently reaches capacity. If the waiting room is at capacity, we welcome visitors to wait in the main hospital atrium or cafeteria. Once the patient has moved to The Hackett Family Maternity Unit, they will be able to welcome you in their private room.
