Antepartum Unit
Pennsylvania Hospital's eight-bed Antepartum
Unit provides specialized care for women experiencing
complications of pregnancy, such as premature
labor, gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced
hypertension. Each bed in the Antepartum Unit
is equipped with a fetal monitor that can measure
both the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions.
Nurses are specially trained to care for women
experiencing high-risk pregnancies. In addition,
portable monitors are available so that appropriate
patients can be monitored at home and still receive
care from their physicians at the hospital.
