A few hours after you have delivered your baby, you and your newborn will move to the Maternal Child Unit. You will remain here until you are discharged home.
The Maternal Child Unit is located on Level 2 of the North tower.
The Maternal Child Unit has private, semi-private and standard rooms. When possible, your room will align with your preferred accommodation request.
