Labor and Delivery Unit

Women's and Children's Unit

After giving birth, mom and baby are moved to the Women's and Children's floor, which offers 28 Women's and Children's rooms. We take a family-centered approach so baby can stay with you from birth through discharge so you can have more time for bonding. If for some reason your baby needs special care and equipment, we also offer a newborn nursery and a Level III NICU.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Obstetrical Emergency Department (OBED)

If you have a medical emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you are pregnant and think your water is broken or you are in labor, you do not need to call the answering service. If your labor was not already scheduled for today, please go directly to Norman Regional Hospital’s Emergency Department entrance located at the east side of the hospital. From there you will be seen in the Obstetrical Emergency Department (OBED) where a board-certified OB hospitalist will assess your condition, work closely with your primary physician, and provide appropriate treatment.

All unscheduled labor and delivery patients should use the Emergency Entrance at the Hospital at all hours to be evaluated by a board-certified OB hospitalist in the Obstetrical Emergency Department (OBED). Find out more about our OBED.
