Gestational Diabetes Management Program

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. If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, please contact our Diabetes Education Team at 561-263-5067, they can provide education and support.

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

Pre-registration is required, please call 561-263-2181. to schedule your appointment. Pre-registration is recommended around your 5th month of pregnancy.
