Birthing suites with all the amenities
(Including a farm-to-fork-inspired celebratory meal for two)
When it’s time to give birth, most of us prefer a comfortable, home-like setting to a sterile hospital room.
The birth suites at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento are large, specially appointed spaces that are designed as private rooms to create a family atmosphere for your labor and delivery. They help to blend amenities for your comfort and safety with the benefits of our unique academic expertise.
We aim to provide a private room to all of our obstetrics patients. However, during busy times it is possible that patients will be assigned to share a room in the antepartum and postpartum periods. (Deliveries are always private).
For more details about our suites and more, see our virtual tour and tour handout.
One room for labor and delivery
Our spacious, comfortable birthing suites are specially appointed private rooms with:
- private bathrooms
- upholstered chairs, and a sleeper couch for a family member
- wireless fetal monitoring for freedom of movement
- free Wi-Fi
- helpful aids such as squat bars and birthing balls

Mom and baby stay together
We practice couplet care, which means that babies and mommies stay together after birth to help support bonding.
We perform our routine recovery care tasks at mom’s bedside – and whenever possible, while baby is resting on mom.
A gourmet meal for new parents
Celebrate your special moment with a farm-to-fork-inspired gourmet meal concepted by chef Santana Diaz, a veteran of Sacramento’s prominent Tower Bridge Dinner and popular area restaurants.
Share and celebrate with your loved ones
After your baby is born, we encourage family and friends to visit so they can meet your new bundle of joy.
Visitors are welcome from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (During the active labor process, exceptions will be made for overnight visitors).
For more information on number and ages of visitors, please see our labor and delivery visitor and guest page.
