Our postpartum program is one of the most comprehensive in the region, offering recovery support, lactation consultations, follow-up visits and doula services for up to a year after delivery.

Specialized Programs

Some pregnancies call for a higher level of expertise. Our teams from maternal-fetal medicine, genetics and the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) work together with your existing medical teams, midwife or doula, so you’re never navigating complex care alone.

When pregnancy is affected by maternal health conditions, fetal anomalies or placental concerns, our maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) team provides the expertise your family needs. From advanced ultrasound and genetic counseling to complex delivery planning, our MFM specialists work closely with your OB or midwife, keeping your care connected from start to finish. For families facing difficult diagnoses or pregnancy loss, our team includes social workers, genetic counselors, palliative care specialists and bereavement support to help navigate the hardest moments.

From standard first-trimester screening to advanced whole-genome sequencing, our genetic counselors provide comprehensive testing alongside clear, honest guidance. Not every screening results in a diagnosis – and before any decision is made, our team makes sure families understand exactly what findings mean and what comes next.

For newborns who need extra medical attention after birth, our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) teams across the Puget Sound are designated as Level III or higher and are equipped for every critical moment. We provide around-the-clock specialist care for premature and medically complex infants – including our Small Baby program for the most fragile newborns. Our family-centered approach keeps parents involved in feeding, holding and daily care, with 24-hour access to your baby throughout their stay.

Research endorsed by the World Health Organization and March of Dimes shows that greater midwifery integration is associated with lower C-section rates, better breastfeeding rates and fewer NICU admissions. Our certified nurse-midwives offer a different kind of prenatal experience, giving you more of their time. Midwifery appointments run 30 minutes, compared to the standard 15, giving you and your midwife space to talk through your whole health, not just your vitals. Midwives specialize in healthy pregnancies and common complications, and they stay connected to your care even when specialists get involved.

A doula can make a meaningful difference in how supported you feel, how labor progresses and how you remember your birth experience. Our experienced team of doulas are matched to patients based on personal preferences, language and culture. Doula services are available for prenatal visits, labor, delivery and postpartum care for up to one year after birth. For families who qualify, Medicaid covers your doula support.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period can bring profound emotional challenges, and they deserve the same expert attention as any physical symptom. Our reproductive psychiatry team specializes in the mental health needs of people who are pregnant or in the year following birth, offering support for anxiety, depression, mood disorders and medication management. At our First Hill campus, we also connect patients with the Providence Swedish Center for Perinatal Bonding and Support for those navigating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Your reproductive health isn't one-size-fits-all. We offer personalized support from family planning and preconception counseling to fertility workups.

Choosing the Right Pregnancy Care

Every pregnancy is different. Whether you're just starting to plan, navigating a complex diagnosis or recovering after birth, the Providence Swedish Women’s Health Institute has the right care and the right team for where you are right now.

A little preparation can make a big difference. Our clinicians offer preconception counseling to help you understand your health, optimize nutrition and identify any conditions that could affect a future pregnancy. If you have a family history of genetic conditions, preconception genetic counseling is also available to help you make informed decisions.

The Providence Swedish Women’s Health Institute offers three primary paths for pregnancy care: OB/GYN physicians, certified nurse-midwives and family medicine clinicians with obstetric training. OB/GYNs manage the full range of pregnancies, including complex and high-risk cases. Midwives specialize in healthy pregnancies, offering longer appointments and a holistic, relationship-based approach. Family medicine providers offer continuity of care for patients who want to stay with a clinician they already know. Many patients also choose to add a doula to their care team. Not sure where to start? Our team can help you find the right fit.

Regular prenatal visits are the foundation of a healthy pregnancy. At the Providence Swedish Women’s Health Institute, prenatal care is team-based by design. In the early and middle stages of pregnancy, you'll often see advanced registered nurse practitioners who specialize in routine prenatal care such as physical exams, ultrasounds and lab work. As you move into the later stages, your delivery team becomes more involved, preparing you for labor and the big day. This model means you get consistent, expert attention at every stage, with a care plan that evolves as your pregnancy does.

Some pregnancies require a higher level of monitoring and expertise. If you have a pre-existing condition or a history of pregnancy complications, a pre-pregnancy visit with our maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) team can help you plan ahead and reduce risk from the start. Once you're pregnant, our MFM specialists work alongside your OB/GYN or midwife to manage conditions like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, fetal anomalies and placental concerns. If your pregnancy becomes complex, you won't need to change systems or start over – our MFM team is integrated within the Providence Swedish Women’s Health Institute, so your care stays connected.

Your recovery after birth deserves as much attention as your pregnancy. Our postpartum care includes follow-up visits, mental health screening, lactation support and access to doula services for up to two years after delivery. If you're experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety, our team is trained to identify them early and connect you with the right support.
