Having a Baby/Obstetrics

Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center physicians have a long tradition of advances in obstetrics and neonatal services. Illinois Masonic physicians created Chicago’s first alternative birthing center to offer women a natural childbirth experience with the support of hospital resources like a high-risk perinatal center including a neonatal intensive care unit.

Comfortable birthing rooms, one of the city’s largest and most experienced certified nurse midwifery programs and the sophisticated technology of a perinatal center that includes a Level III neonatal intensive care unit are among the reasons more than 3,600 women have their babies at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center every year.

From family planning through pregnancy, education, delivery and postpartum care, our experienced obstetrical and neonatal staffs are dedicated to giving mothers and their babies a happy, healthy start.

Illinois Masonic Medical Center provides a complete range of services to ensure the health of women and their babies. Women receive personalized, comprehensive care before, during and after pregnancy.

Within our comfortable and modern setting, mothers and babies receive total care rooted in family-oriented decision-making strengthened by clinical expertise. Illinois Masonic is a Level III perinatal center, providing the highest level of perinatal, antenatal and neonatal care awarded by the State of Illinois.
