We’re here for you and your baby
As
a mother-to-be, you have a lot on your mind. Receiving great medical
care is not something you should have to worry about. Novant Health
Thomasville Medical Center is here for you, during your pregnancy,
for your birthing experience, and after your baby is born.
Actually,
our services begin even
before you conceive. We
work closely with Novant Health obstetricians in the Thomasville and
Davidson County areas who can help ensure that you are healthy and
prepared for pregnancy.
Maternity education
Reliable
information is never more important than when you are preparing for
the arrival of your new baby. Even if this is not your first, you may
still benefit from some refresher classes.
We
offer a
variety of free education sessions where
you and family members can learn what to expect and how to prepare for the newest member of the family. You can also take a tour of our
birthing facilities so that when the time comes, you’ll be in
familiar surroundings.

Your birthing experience
When
your baby is on its way, our team of board-certified physicians and
specialized nurses will be here for you. Our spacious birthing suites
are designed to meet your every need and provide a comfortable,
secure, caring environment when your baby arrives. Our private
postpartum suites include the comforts of home and plenty of room for
visitors and loved ones. Overnight accommodations in the suites are available.
Newborn services
In addition to complete obstetrical and surgical services, we provide all newborn services including hearing screening, a newborn nursery and even a baby photo service and online nursery.
For our online nursery, a professional photographer will take your newborn’s very first photograph. Portraits can be seen, as they are taken, on a full screen monitor from the comfort of your bed. You’ll have the opportunity to create birth announcements, photo packages as gifts, baby keepsakes, and a unique, personalized, password-protected webpage, which can be easily shared with friends and family.
Pre-registration recommended
We
recommend that you pre-register
for your hospital stay, which will streamline your admission when the baby’s
coming.
High-risk pregnancy
Because of
age and other factors,
your pregnancy might be classified as “high risk.” That means you
should take special precautions and perhaps make lifestyle
adjustments based on advice from your Novant Health obstetrician.
If
you’re concerned about a medical or genetic condition that might
affect your pregnancy, we can help arrange ongoing monitoring and
treatment.
Breastfeeding
services
At Thomasville Medical Center, we believe that, in addition
to being a rewarding and nurturing experience,
breastfeeding
offers many health benefits for your growing baby. To
help you succeed, we offer services such as prenatal
breastfeeding classes and assessment, breastfeeding consultations,
breast pumps, feeding supplies and breastfeeding aids.
Support
after the baby arrives
Although
it just doesn’t seem right, new mothers are not always happy. In
fact, conditions such as rapid
hormone change, fatigue, the physical and emotional stress of giving
birth and sleep deprivation can combine to make you downright
depressed – even with a beautiful new baby.
It is nothing to be ashamed of, and you are certainly not alone. One in five new mothers will experience a serious
postpartum mood disorder. Please, stay in touch with your Novant Health physician if you need evaluation and treatment.
