Preparing for Your Baby
At Jupiter Medical Center, we understand that a baby’s arrival is
more joyful when the parents feel prepared. That’s why we have designed
classes and groups to help everyone plan for and adjust to the newest
member of the family. Currently all classes and tours are temporarily
suspended. In place of in-person classes, we are offering complimentary
online classes.
Gestational Diabetes Management Program
Gestational diabetes is a temporary condition in which hormonal changes
during pregnancy prevent your body from producing enough insulin. Jupiter
Medical Center offers a Gestational Diabetes Management Program, which
includes blood glucose monitoring, exercise and meal planning, and lifestyle
adjustment. Our goal is to help women understand the problem and manage
their health during pregnancy to prevent future complications.
A Personalized Birthing Experience
So your delivery can be a true family experience, our suites offer overnight
facilities to accommodate fathers or labor partners. We also offer a lounge
so family can be nearby and loved ones can share in the joyous occasion.
Your first decision as a parent will be one of the most important you ever
make - choosing your baby's birthplace. To ensure that your individual
needs and preferences are met, we provide you with many options and, of
course, the information and emotional support to help you choose with
confidence the care best suited for your family.
New Options for Pain Relief
Jupiter Medical Center is putting the power of pain management in your
hands. We now offer nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “laughing
gas,” for pain relief during labor. The mixture of nitrous gas and
oxygen is inhaled through a mask, which allows delivering moms to breathe
it in when they feel the need. As the only labor pain relief method that
is cleared through the lungs, the effects of nitrous oxide are gone within
a breath or two. It has no known effects on the baby and can be used in
conjunction with other methods of pain management, including epidurals.
Preparing for Your Stay
