Labor, Delivery, Recovery, Postpartum Unit


Labor & Delivery

The Labor & Delivery Unit at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is the only American referral center for high-risk obstetric patients serving eligible beneficiaries throughout Europe, Western Asia and Africa, with an active Storknest program for expectant mothers in remote locations.

We understand that birth is a personal, life-changing event and our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and making this a memorable experience for you and your family. Our Nurses, Midwives, Obstetricians and Medical Technicians are here to support you throughout your birth experience.

Our private Labor, Delivery and Recovery (LDR) rooms have rocking chairs, birthing balls, recliners, showers and state-of-the-art medical equipment. We are also equipped with OB Operating Rooms within the unit.

Our Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) provides high-risk obstetrical care and consultations. We offer diagnostic ultrasound, genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, management of high-risk pregnancy, multiple births and expectant mothers with diabetes and prematurity prevention.

Best of all, your baby remains with you for your entire hospital stay.

The Mother Baby Unit provides family-centered care after delivery where mothers and newborns stay together in their rooms 24 hours a day, also known as rooming-in. We understand that birth is a personal, life-changing event and our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and making this a memorable experience for you and your family. Our Nurses, Midwives, Obstetricians and Medical Technicians are here to support you throughout your birth experience.

Getting off to the right start in life is important. For people like LeVar Burton, that included being born at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, where quality care includes a team of dedicated staff members, patient-centered health care, lactation support, and maximizing the patient experience through family bonding. We can't guarantee your baby will boldly go in the same career path as Mr. Burton...but we can promise the best possible care to get them started in the right direction.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

LRMC's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a 7-bed, family-centered, Level I*** NICU. As the only Department of Defense NICU in Europe, we serve as a referral center and have robust neonatal transport capability.

We care for premature and term infants requiring emergency, supportive, and transitional care.  We also have partnerships with local NICUs who can provide complex, subspecialty care.  Additionally, we team with San Antonio Military Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center for consultation and telehealth.  For infants or families who may need long-term follow up care in the U.S. system, we can provide neonatal critical care transport back to the United States.  

***We are currently operating at a Level 1 Nursery (35wga and above/2000 grams) status in support of the deliveries only here at LRMC.  All infants requiring higher levels of care born at LRMC will be transferred to our host nation hospitals/NICUs.***
