Delivering at Lenox Hill — What to Know

Your Birth Story at Lenox Hill: Doula + Photography
Your YourCherish doula is also a documentary birth photographer, so you never have to bring a stranger into your birth room. Families delivering at Lenox Hill can add any of these to their doula package:
Birth photography by your doula. The same person supporting you through labor at Lenox Hill quietly documents your labor and your baby's first moments, without adding another person to the room.
Fresh48 in your postpartum room. Soft, unposed photos of your first days together, taken at Lenox Hill before you go home. See Fresh48 at Lenox Hill →
Maternity session in Carl Schurz Park. At 32–36 weeks, along the East River on the Upper East Side, a short trip from the hospital.
Hospital photo and video rules can change, so we confirm them with your care team before your birth, and we always pause when staff ask us to. See the doula + photography packages →

What Lenox Hill Families Say
"Olga was the reason my second birth was completely different from my first. She knew Lenox Hill, she knew the staff, and she held everything for us through 14 hours of labor. I tell every pregnant friend I have to call YourCherish first." — Marina K., delivered at Lenox Hill Hospital
