Obstetric Care

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or your fifth, a single baby or multiples, every pregnancy and birth is unique. To meet the individual needs of your pregnancy and newborn(s), our obstetric care team works with you to understand your pregnancy and preferences, and support you and your growing family with the most advanced care tailored to each mother and baby. We welcome you to a warm, supportive, family-centered environment staffed by world-leading Stanford Medicine doctors, obstetric specialist nurses and support staff.

Research, innovation and an unwavering dedication to nurturing care, allow us to provide the best care whether your pregnancy is routine or high-risk.
