Advanced treatment for high-risk pregnancies.

Pregnancy is an exciting time. But a high-risk pregnancy can bring unexpected challenges. At Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns, we offer care you can count on. And with the largest Perinatal Special Care Unit in San Diego County, more high-risk pregnancies are referred to us than anywhere else.

Where skill, technology and compassion meet.

Whether you're having twins or facing a chronic illness, we specialize in a range of complicated pregnancies. We have more affiliated maternal-fetal medicine specialists than any other hospital in San Diego, bringing advanced training and experience right to your bedside. And for newborns needing a little extra help, our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the largest in the county, provides innovative therapies and cutting-edge technology.

We are uniquely prepared to provide highly specialized care for pregnancies associated with:

• Chronic illness
• Diabetes
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Multiples (twins, triplets, etc.)
• Pregnancy over age 35
• Preterm labor
• Seizure disorders
• Previous pregnancy loss
• Poor obstetric history
• Other medical conditions

A focus on family.

Our care teams, from nurses to nutritionists, anesthesiologists to OBGYNs — deliver an unparalleled level of care that we call The Sharp Experience. This means compassionate, patient-centered care, 24 hours a day. And with a focus on family, our private suites ensure that your loved ones will be by your side when you need them the most.

We also provide a range of special services to mothers in the Perinatal Special Care Unit, including Arts for Healing, pet therapy, support groups and childbirth preparation classes, clergy, reiki massage and more.
