The new floors feature four C-section operating rooms, 36 labor and delivery beds, 24 antepartum beds and four birthing suites. "Many of these women have very complicated pregnancies and require a long stay in the hospital in order to be close by all of the medical necessities should they have an emergency, and so that's what our antepartum units are meant for," said Dr. Kimberly DeStefano, medical director of maternal fetal medicine.
