Pregnancy Services

Having a St. Francis baby means taking advantage of all the pregnancy services we have to offer, from expert clinical care and outstanding amenities to special touches found only at St. Francis. We've re-defined the way babies are born in the Upstate. At ST. FRANCIS eastside (formerly St. Francis Women's & Family Hospital), we know how to care for you. And for the most important person in the world ... your new baby.

The St. Francis approach focuses on family, especially the relationship between a mother and her infant. Moms labor, deliver and recover in a private room (with enough space for dad), and once you have delivered your baby, he or she will stay in the room with you during your entire stay. Check out our step-by-step guide to preparing for labor and delivery to learn more about what happens at the hospital and explore our entire site to learn about our comprehensive pregnancy services, from prenatal support to postpartum care. Patients in Greenville, Spartanburg, Clemson, and surrounding Upstate, SC areas can also use our physician search to find a local OB/GYN who can provide additional information about pregnancy services at St. Francis.
