High-Risk Pregnancy & NICU
The months leading up to the birth of a child are filled with great anticipation and excitement, and lots of questions. Will my baby be healthy? Will she look like me? Should we find out the sex or let it be a surprise? While we may not be able to answer all of your questions, we can say with certainty that you and your baby are in the best hands possible. Together with Valley Children’s Healthcare – our partner for more than 30 years – we offer the region’s most comprehensive maternity program so you and your baby can expect the highest standard of care before, during and after delivery.
High Risk Pregnancy
In recognizing the complex nature of pregnancy and with safety as our guiding principle, Saint Agnes Medical Center is proud to offer antepartum care for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Whether baby is a few days or a few months away, if you require hospitalization for a pregnancy-related condition, our dedicated medical team will work with you to ensure the safety and comfort of you and baby and monitor your condition closely to tailor treatments specifically for your needs.
For women dealing with a complex pregnancy that may not require hospitalization, we suggest adopting these bedrest exercises into your routine.

Maternal Fetal Care
A happy, healthy baby is the goal of every pregnancy. But certain maternal fetal conditions call for an extra measure of care. The specialists at Valley Children’s Maternal Fetal Center will work closely with you, your doctor and other caregivers to minimize medical complications during pregnancy – from conducting routine tests to managing the most complex cases. In the event you should need hospitalization prior to your due date, the maternal fetal medicine specialists at Valley Children’s will admit you to the Antepartum Unit at Saint Agnes where they will continue to monitor you and baby.

Valley Children’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
In the event your baby requires critical care immediately after birth, you’ll be glad to know that the pediatric team from Valley Children’s Healthcare operates both a Level II and Level III NICU onsite at Saint Agnes. Even the sickest babies won’t have to travel any farther than a few steps from their delivery room to receive the optimum level of care. Best of all, mom and baby are able to stay together in one convenient location. The NICUs are fully staffed with trained specialists who are able to care for premature and other special-needs babies.
