FAQ
Which hospitals can I deliver at in Middle Georgia?
The three main delivery hospitals are Atrium Health Navicent The Medical Center in Macon (Level III NICU), Piedmont Macon (formerly Coliseum), and Houston Healthcare/Emory in Warner Robins. Your delivery hospital depends on where your OB-GYN has privileges. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, Navicent’s Level III NICU provides the highest level of neonatal care in the region. Confirm your doctor’s hospital affiliation early in your pregnancy.
Do any OB-GYN practices in Middle Georgia offer midwifery?
Yes. Physicians and Midwives of Macon offers a 24/7 midwifery service with four midwives, backed by physician partners for complications. Women’s Health Care of Georgia in Warner Robins also has midwives on staff. Midwife-attended births at these practices take place in the hospital, not at home or in birth centers.
How soon should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
Most OB-GYN practices recommend scheduling your first prenatal visit between 8 and 10 weeks of pregnancy. Call as soon as you get a positive pregnancy test — popular practices can book out a few weeks for new OB patients. The first visit typically includes a full medical history, blood work, and often an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and estimate a due date.
