Meet Our Team

INSPIRE Award Recipient

For two second consecutive years, we have been named an INSPIRE Hospital of Distinction for our work toward reducing infant mortality. The health and well-being of our mothers goes hand-in-hand with this journey. You and your baby are in good hands.

Specialty Care for Expectant Mothers

Through its providers, Norton KDH offers advanced care most mothers would find only in larger cities:

  • VBAC (vaginal births after cesarean section) is available for appropriate candidates. Talk to your OB provider before becoming pregnant again or during one of your early OB visits. Together, the two of you can determine whether VBAC is right for you.
  • Wireless monitoring gives mothers the ability to walk around while in labor, a form of natural pain relief.
  • Peanut balls – exercise balls used to help open the pelvis and ease labor.
  • Warm showers – another natural pain relief option. We offer shower areas where laboring moms can sit and be soothed by warm water.

Visiting Hours

During labor, three (3) healthy adult visitors may visit. During postpartum, only one (1) healthy adult is allowed to stay after 9 p.m. Children under 12 years of age are not permitted to visit unless the child is a sibling. Siblings should not have any signs of illness (runny nose, fever, etc.). Exceptions may occur if visiting restrictions are in place. In addition, a certified doula may be available to attend the birth as part of the medical team. This is supported by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and The Association of Women’s Health and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN). Guest internet access (NKDH Guest Network) is available for visitors at no cost.

Mother-Baby Education

P.R.E.P. Program

Each expectant mom will attend an obstetrics P.R.E.P. visit during week 36 or 37 of her pregnancy. This visit is completed by a registered OB nurse and allows mom to complete necessary hospital and labor and delivery paperwork in advance of her visit. Individualized education is also provided, along with childbirth information. A tour of Mother-Baby Unit is available. Partners and siblings are encouraged to attend. Each expectant mom receives a free tote bag.

Ask your personal provider about your obstetrics P.R.E.P. visit, or call the Perinatal Educator at (812) 801-0990.

4D Ultrasound

Expectant parents have the option to view incredibly detailed images of their baby before he or she is born thanks to 4D ultrasound technology. For an upfront fee of $125, parents can arrange to have their own OB 4D ultrasound experience! Up to 10 family members and friends can be invited to join the event, with images displayed on a large flat screen television. 3D images are taken by the technologist and put on a disc for the parents to take home with them.

When is the Best Time for 4D Ultrasound?

For optimal imaging, 4D Ultrasound exams should be scheduled between 27 and 30 weeks of gestation. The best time for a 4D Ultrasound for twin pregnancies is between 24 and 26 weeks of gestation. OB 4D Ultrasound exams can be scheduled by calling our medical imaging schedulers at (812) 801-0440 You do not have to be a patient at Norton KDH to take advantage of this special offer.
Please Note: 
OB 4D Ultrasound is not a diagnostic exam; it is for entertainment purposes only. Insurance does not cover OB 4D Ultrasound exams; they are self-pay only.
There are occasional limitations with OB 4D Ultrasound exams. For example, sometimes the baby’s position, amniotic fluid, or gestational age may affect the outcome of the images.
