Maternity Care in Fort Worth
One of the biggest decisions you’ll make is where to deliver your baby. You will want to select a hospital where you feel comfortable and can receive excellent care throughout each phase of delivery. At Texas Health Huguley, you will find a compassionate environment focused on family-centered maternity care philosophies, with the latest medical technology to provide only the best for you and your baby.
Our Women's Center boasts the newest and biggest rooms in the DFW metroplex. Each room has a spacious couch with the ability to foldout into a bed for an overnight guest, keeping your loved ones comfortable during this precious moment. Large windows located in each patient room provide plenty of sunlight for mom and baby and views that give you peace of mind.
- Planning for the Big Day
-
Experience has strengthened and shaped our birthing philosophy, and we strive to provide you with the type of delivery you desire in a very secure and comforting environment. Our online childbirth classes provide you with a personal journey through prepared childbirth in the comfort of your own home. You have the chance to ask unlimited questions during a scheduled hospital tour with a labor and delivery RN. Plus, we have prenatal breastfeeding classes to help you prepare for feeding your little one.
- Delivering Your Bundle of Joy
-
Your baby will be born in the comfort of one of our labor, delivery and recovery suites. Epidurals and anesthesia are available around the clock if you choose them.
Following delivery, you will have a private room for quiet recuperation and for sharing precious first moments with your newborn. We appreciate the important role of fathers, siblings and grandparents in the childbirth experience. And, because we believe strongly in the mother/baby bond, we request that each mother spend the first hour with her baby before allowing additional family or friends into the room.
As you recover, you’ll experience snuggle time from 1 to 3 pm each day, when the lights are turned down and interruptions to patients are very limited. This allows you and your baby to get some much needed rest or enjoy some quiet time getting to know each other.
- Your Baby's Health
-
Texas Health Huguley has specially trained nurses known as nurse clinicians. They attend each delivery to help with newborn stabilization and provide the highest quality care. Additionally, respiratory care technicians attend every Cesarean section in order to assure extra safety for your infant.
A lactation consultant is available to assist new mothers with breastfeeding and is accessible by telephone after discharge for continued support. The Texas Department of State Health Services recognized Texas Health Huguley for supporting breastfeeding mothers.
Every infant receives a hearing screening before discharge. Even after you and your bundle of joy head home, we continue our family-centered care.
- Safety and Security
-
Each labor room is equipped with a state-of-the-art fetal monitoring and charting system. An infant security system provides valuable added protection for the mothers and infants in our care and the department is locked 24/7.
- Birth Certificate and Social Security Number

Birth Certificates can be obtained online or in person at any County Court House or Clerk's Office.

Patient Experiences
Quote"When my condition became concerning, the staff stayed very calm and jumped into action. I felt very safe and taken care of when I looked up and it seemed every nurse on the unit was in my room working together as a team to take care of me. We really feel like I am here today to enjoy my son because of the quick and knowledgeable actions of the Women’s Services staff. With all the complications and scary moments, we were comforted by the staff that did not leave my side. The charge nurses and unit nurses checked in on me throughout my stay, and the wonderful Manager Jennifer came by and visited with me every day. I cannot brag enough on both the Labor and Delivery staff and Postpartum staff. Thank you!"

Patient Experiences
Quote"This is my second baby and I have delivered at Texas Health Huguley both times, but my first was delivered before the new hospital was built. I have to say that the new facility is wonderful and it honestly feels like we’re in a hotel right now. There is so much space for people to come visit and I don’t feel confined at all. As nice as the facility is, I really have to commend the staff for such an awesome experience."

Patient Experiences
Quote"I love the team on this unit. Everyone is so kind and so willing to go above and beyond to help, without making you feel guilty. I have friends who have delivered at other hospitals and in other states who have had the worst experience, and I just want to bring them to Texas Health Huguley for a re-do so that they can experience what I have. You ladies are absolutely amazing!"
