Delivery by the Same Team that Guided Your Pregnancy

As you prepare for labor, one of the biggest sources of comfort is knowing who will be with you during delivery.

At About Women By Women, your delivery is not handed off to a hospitalist you’ve never met or a rotating on-call team. Instead, the same OB/GYNs who cared for you throughout your pregnancy continue caring for you in labor and delivery.

This means you are supported by:

The same OB/GYNs you saw throughout your prenatal visits
Providers who know your medical history, health risks, and birth preferences
A team committed to compassionate, trauma-informed, patient-centered care

Having familiar providers by your side helps you feel calmer, safer, and fully supported during labor.

Where You Will Deliver: Newton-Wellesley Hospital

We deliver your baby at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, a trusted maternity hospital where our OB/GYNs have long-standing delivery privileges. This means our physicians are fully credentialed to admit you, manage your labor, and deliver your baby in the hospital.

Newton-Wellesley provides a calm, well-equipped environment for childbirth, along with access to Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists when needed. Our team works seamlessly with hospital staff, ensuring consistent care from the moment you arrive until you return home.

While the hospital team provides bedside support, your About Women By Women OB/GYN remains the physician leading your labor and delivery.

What You Can Expect During Labor & Delivery

As you move into the final months of pregnancy, we guide you through a clear plan for birth, so you feel prepared on your due date. We want you to feel prepared, confident, and supported through every stage of birth.

Your experience with us will include clear guidance before labor begins, attentive care during labor, and thoughtful support after delivery.

Before Labor Begins

In the weeks leading up to your due date, we make sure you know exactly what to expect and when to reach out. These conversations help you feel grounded and confident as your body prepares for labor. We review:

How your body may change as labor approaches
Which symptoms are normal, and how to manage them
Your birth preferences and any specific requests
Signs of labor and red flags that require immediate attention

We keep same-week emergency slots open for established OB patients. If anything feels unfamiliar or concerning, you can reach our nurses promptly for guidance.

Call us at (781) 263-0033 or request an appointment online.

When You Arrive at Newton-Wellesley Hospital

Your hospital experience begins with coordinated care between the nursing team and your About Women By Women OB/GYN. When you arrive, the nursing staff begins routine assessments and helps you get settled. Shortly after, our OB/GYN comes in to evaluate your labor, review your birth plan, and walk you through what to expect over the next few hours.

During Labor

As labor progresses, our OB/GYN remains closely involved while the hospital team supports you at the bedside. Here is how we will guide you through the process.

Monitoring of contractions, fetal heart rate, and your vital signs
Access to pain management options, including epidurals
Real-time discussions about how your labor is progressing
Clear explanations of each step and decision

We provide both medical and emotional support while making sure you feel informed, respected, and involved.

During Delivery

Whether your delivery is routine or requires more attention, your About Women By Women OB/GYN remains by your side to manage your delivery and ensure your safety.

Perform vaginal deliveries or C-sections if medically needed
Maintain close communication through each step
Support immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth
Help with early breastfeeding if you choose

Postpartum Care After Birth

Once your baby is born, our OB/GYN continues to oversee your medical care during your hospital stay. We monitor your recovery, answer questions, and make sure you understand what is normal in the first hours after delivery.

Before you’re discharged, we review the symptoms you can expect over the next few days and explain which changes should prompt a call to our office. We also schedule your postpartum visit before you leave, so you have a clear plan for follow-up once you’re home.
