Birthing Center

At Castleview Hospital, we believe that childbirth is a family experience. We make accommodations to be sure the family and friends you'd like to be there can share in your unique experience.

Our birthing unit provides expectant families with unique accommodations you won't find anywhere else in central Utah. Our birthing suites provide you with a relaxing and comfortable area for the laboring process, while nurses work hard to give you individualized attention and care. Feel free to bring items that help you feel at home.

Remember that labor can be very overwhelming and emotional, and to provide the safest delivery it is best to limit visitors to only those who you want to provide support. 

The Women's Care Birthing Center permits 24-hour visitation for your primary support people. All other visitors should follow the hospital visitation policy. Your new baby's siblings may visit with an adult. Anyone sick or recently exposed (within the past three weeks) to an infectious disease (chicken pox, flu, covid, etc) should not visit the Birthing Center.

Labor and Deliver Room

Visitors are upon your request however they may need to step out to allow physicians and nurses to care for you safely. All visitors are required to have your unique code to enter the Women Service’s department. This is for the safety of you and your baby.

After Your Baby is Born

You will need some time to physically and emotionally recover from labor and delivery. Following your baby's birth, we encourage skin to skin care, allowing you time to bond and comfort your baby.  The nursery staff will need to complete an assessment and check your baby’s health.  This can be done in the nursery or if you prefer in your delivery room (usually about 2 hours of age). You will continue to recover for an hour or two in the Labor and Delivery Room. The nurses will check on you often and when you are ready you will be moved to your Postpartum Room where your family and friends can visit you upon your request.

Incoming Calls

For your convenience, there are phones in the Birthing Suites as well as the Postpartum Rooms. You are also welcome to use your cell phone. Our staff will get messages to you or transfer calls; however, protecting your confidentiality, we will not give out information regarding you or your baby.

Outgoing Calls

To make outgoing calls, dial 9 and the area code. Regional and long distance calls require a calling card or operator assistance.
