Postpartum care

The goals of our after-childbirth care are to help your body heal from delivery and support you as you get to know your new baby. We also want you to be able to make memories, celebrate and prepare to take your baby home safely.

Well-baby nursery

Rose Babies is home to a state-of-the-art well-baby nursery. Following delivery, some new parents don’t want to let their newborn out of their sight, while others like to have time to rest and recuperate before heading home with their new baby. Our beautiful well-baby nursery, directly adjacent to the mom/baby nurses station, is a place where your baby will be safe and comfortable while the family gets some rest. This nursery also has a dedicated room for elective circumcisions. This space is secured and locked so you can rest assured that you and your baby are safe and being taken care by our experienced mom/baby nurses.

Neonatal intensive care

For babies that need a little extra care after birth, we provide a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Our NICU was named the #1 NICU in HCA Healthcare for nursing excellence.

Our postpartum support does not end after you are discharged. Our team offers a variety of support services to help you once you are home with your baby.

Lactation help and breastfeeding support groups

Get answers to your breastfeeding questions within 24 hours through our lactation helpline (303) 320-2001. You can also attend our weekly breastfeeding support group, Rose Mamas TLC (The Lactation Club), Mondays from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. Space is limited, so registration is required.

Rose Mamas Circles

If you haven’t already joined your Rose Mamas Circle, you can still do so after your baby arrives. These due date-based meetup groups help you connect with other mamas and continue through sixd months postpartum.

Postpartum mental wellness services

Depression and anxiety are the most common complications after pregnancy. Parents of every culture, age, income level and race can develop perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Symptoms can appear at any time during pregnancy through the first 12 months after childbirth. If left untreated, symptoms can last for years, but effective treatment options are available. The sooner you get help, the sooner you will feel like yourself again.

We are dedicated to educating both expecting and new parents on perinatal mood disorder symptoms and how to access care when needed. We have a dedicated full-time perinatal behavioral health counselor to provide both education and emotional support to you before and after discharge.

• Inpatient emotional support — Our perinatal behavioral health counselor is available to visit any patient during their hospital stay. Our counselor can provide a brief emotional well-being check-in or address more significant behavioral health concerns where follow-up support after discharge may be recommended.
• Outpatient counseling services — Our perinatal behavioral health counselor is also available for one-on-one outpatient counseling for new mothers or fathers experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of depression or anxiety or who are struggling with other emotional challenges.

Contact our perinatal counselor at (303) 320-2224 or email to learn more about this service and/or schedule an appointment.

Our hospital offers excellent urogynecology care for post-pregnancy conditions, such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, which many women experience after childbirth. The gynecologists at our women's hospital offer effective and minimally invasive pelvic floor treatments and therapies. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable by educating you about your condition and helping you find relief from your symptoms.
