Expectant mothers in Miami know Mercy Hospital’s Maternity unit better as the place where happy and healthy babies are brought into the world. Each year, more than 1,400 newborns arrive at Mercy Hospital’s labor and delivery suites—where the latest equipment and
experienced physicians help achieve quality results. It allows us to coordinate and deliver care more quickly,” says Edward Fidalgo MD, an OB-GYN at Mercy. “We can offer comprehensive, integrated care, and that really can help a patient.” That care starts from the moment a woman reaches the labor floor, as a team of healthcare professionals gets to work.

This is a time to oblige your body. Don’t fight it if your body says it’s time to take a nap.
Winter 2009
There are about 6 million pregnancies every year in the United States, according to the American Pregnancy Association. Although the birth of a child is a joyous time for most, some women experience mood swings or depression following delivery.
Rolando J. De Leon MD, chairman of Mercy Hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department, says it is important for new mothers to be seen six to eight weeks after delivery for a postpartum exam. “It’s important to sit down and talk with the mom and see how she is doing and how she is dealing with the new baby,” he says.
