Labor and Delivery
Giving your baby the best possible start in life.
You can trust your birthing team knowing that no one in San Diego has more experience delivering babies. We specialize in OBGYN, childbirth and newborn care that covers everything you and your baby need.
Having comfort in childbirth.
We want you and your family to have the personal birth experience you want. Our spacious, state-of-the-art, private delivery suites are designed to support your birth plan and give you and your baby the utmost comfort. If you prefer it, we embrace a variety of natural birthing options as well as vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
Giving your baby the best start.
We make every preparation and take every precaution to ensure that you and your baby are comfortable and safe. That’s why, if you’re having a high-risk pregnancy, we work together to create a specialized care plan. It’s also why our state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care units provide lifesaving, around-the-clock care for newborns who may need it. And it’s why we staff our NICU teams with physicians and nurses who are experts in everything from neonatology and nutrition to lactation and respiratory therapy.
Everything you and your baby need, all along the way.
Whether you’re choosing a
doula or looking for one-on-one breastfeeding classes, we’re here to help with
all your needs, and your baby’s, before, during and after birth.

Learning to care for your newborn.
Once your baby is born, we’re right there to teach you about and help you practice caring for him or her. If needed, our certified lactation specialists can give you one-on-one breastfeeding support and assistance. Also, for women recovering from cesarean deliveries, we have a special recovery unit designed to keep moms and babies together during those important first hours of life.
We take care of you and your family — it's what you've come to expect from us, and it's all part of what we call The Sharp Experience.
