Pregnancy and Birth
At Baton Rouge General, we understand that every birth is different. When you are going to be a parent, it’s important that your doctor understands every aspect of your pregnancy journey. From hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time to celebrating milestones like a first word or step, our expert care team is here for you to handle life’s expected and unexpected moments.
With three convenient locations, our experienced labor and delivery team puts you first by providing high-quality, personalized care the way you want it – whether you want an unmedicated birth, are considering an epidural, or have a planned c-section. We specialize in caring for newborns and new parents, too. Our care doesn’t stop after the baby is born. We have been here for generations and for all of life’s next steps.
