Comprehensive prenatal care before, during and after pregnancy

Whether you’re planning for a baby or already expecting, our obstetrics team provides expert care at every stage. In fact, we've been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Hospital for Maternity Care. You can grow your family with confidence, knowing you’re in good hands for all your needs – from routine to advanced prenatal care.

What is obstetrics?

Obstetricians support you through preconception planning, pregnancy, labor and birth, and postpartum recovery. At Aurora BayCare Medical Center, our obstetricians are skilled in handling both normal and high-risk pregnancies, and are supported by the latest technology.

Some of our birthing care and support services include:

• Prenatal screenings and tests
• Fertility and maternal fetal medicine
• Pregnancy Welcome Visit
• Routine visits and ultrasounds
• Labor and delivery support
• Dedicated birthing center
• Childbirth and parenting classes
• Level III neonatal intensive care unit
• Breastfeeding support
• Postpartum care

What is the difference between obstetrics and gynecology?

As the hub for the largest OB-GYN practice in northeast Wisconsin, Aurora BayCare offers complete and specialized women’s health care. While obstetrics specializes in maternity care, gynecology provides a wide range of services beyond reproductive health, from preventative visits to advanced treatments when you need them.

Pregnancy Welcome Visit

A positive pregnancy test comes with a lot of emotions and questions, and you shouldn’t have to wait to get the information you need. At Aurora BayCare, you'll get an appointment for a Pregnancy Welcome Visit within three days of calling.

Ultrasound and prenatal genetic screening

As a convenience to you, our ultrasound services and prenatal genetic screening (also referred to as amniocentesis), are offered right in our obstetrician offices. And for your peace of mind, obstetricians are present during your visit to share timely results of your exam and to answer your immediate questions. Our obstetricians are accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, which means they offer the highest standards of care.

Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)

Not everyone needs the highest level of neonatal care, but if you do, you’ll find comfort knowing that Aurora BayCare supports a level III NICU. Level III NICUs are staffed by around-the-clock subspecialty personnel including neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners, neonatal nurses and respiratory therapists. These experts provide the highest level of neonatal care to newborn infants at varying degrees of risk.

Private birthing suites

When it’s time to deliver, our private birthing suites offer comfort and security. Our labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum suites are birthing rooms in which the mother remains for all four stages of the birthing process. State-of-the-art equipment is transferred to the suite for each stage. Our in-room baby stations provide an environment in which mom and baby can stay together. These luxury suites create a family-centered experience while our birthing team provides expert care.

Laborist program

Aurora BayCare offers the only OB-GYN Laborist Program in the Green Bay area, ensuring that an OB-GYN is on-site and accessible at all times. The constant presence of a qualified OB practitioner makes childbirth even safer for women and babies in Northeast Wisconsin.

Online pregnancy classes

In addition to a vast array of classes offered on-site at Aurora BayCare Medical Center, you also have access to online pregnancy classes. Search childbirth and parenting to explore your online pregnancy education options. For event location, select the birthing center location you expect to use for your child’s birth.

Expanded hours and two locations

Convenient hours and locations mean better care for you and your family. All our OB-GYN services are available at two locations in Green Bay: Aurora BayCare Medical Center on Greenbrier Road and Aurora BayCare Health Center on West Mason Street. Both locations offer digital mammography, ultrasound services and expanded evening hours that make it easier to schedule appointments when you need them.
