Delivering at Kings County — What to Know
Labor happens in single-occupancy suites, each with a private shower and bathroom, with medical equipment kept out of sight. The suites are designed so your family can stay with you through the entire birth if you wish, and the hospital's stated aim is to help you deliver in the most natural setting possible.
Certified nurse-midwives provide prenatal, birth and postpartum care at Kings County alongside obstetricians, so families who want a low-intervention birth with a full hospital and NICU behind them often choose it for exactly that.
Brooklyn has the highest rate of doula-supported births in the city, nearly two thirds of births in 2025, and Kings County is part of NYC Health + Hospitals, which treats every patient regardless of ability to pay. A YourCherish doula adds continuous one-to-one support from early labor at home through your first postpartum hour. Support-person rules can change, so we confirm them before your due date.
YourCherish provides doula support in English, Russian, and Spanish — ensuring full communication and advocacy regardless of your primary language.
