Birthing Services

Maternity Care in Ravalli County

Your birthing experience is going to be an event to remember, and at Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital, we strive to make it one of the most extraordinary days of your life. When anticipating the birth of their child, many parents start depicting their ideal birth experience. Our team goes above and beyond to try and make this dream a reality. We want your delivery to be as comfortable and safe as possible so that you can start this chapter of your life with a positive first step.

Through our family-centered maternity care, you are included in decision making during labor, delivery, and postpartum care. Once your baby enters the world, we observe 24 hour rooming in with no separation of mother and baby.

An Intimate Experience

As a rural area hospital, we are able to provide our patients with very intimate care. We work with parents throughout the pregnancy, and closely monitor the growing child to keep up with its health and wellbeing. Our experienced and skilled physicians are trained in a variety of birthing techniques, including C-sections, and act quickly to ensure the safety of both mother and child throughout labor and beyond.

All newborns born at Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital go home in their personal car seat and receive a free professional photo shoot, along with several other complimentary services and items we provide for new families.

Childbirth & Lactation Classes

We encourage expectant parents to attend our childbirth and lactation classes taught by professional medical staff at Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital. During these classes, you will meet with the medical staff and delivery teams and learn about the wide array of delivery services we provide. We also provide instruction on exercises, breathing techniques, and pain management options that will help you through pregnancy and labor. Our classes sizes are small so that patients can receive more one-on-one attention and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. To see our Childbirth Classes, click here.
