What We Know About Delivering at Mount Sinai

Mount Sinai is renowned for its range of birth options — a strong midwifery program alongside full OB services, one of the city's largest NICUs, and a postpartum floor designed to support families through the first days.

Midwifery families: Mount Sinai's midwifery team attracts families who want a low-intervention, evidence-based approach within a hospital setting. Your doula and your midwife are a natural partnership.

OB families: Whether you're working with a private OB or the hospital team, your doula provides the continuous support your OB cannot — staying through every shift change, every waiting hour, every moment between visits.

High-risk and NICU families: Mount Sinai's NICU is exceptional. We have supported families through NICU births and approach these contexts with full sensitivity.

C-section families: Many Mount Sinai families have scheduled or emergency C-sections. We are experienced with cesarean births and the specific postpartum recovery that follows.

What Your Doula Does at Mount Sinai

  • Arrives during active labor at your home or at Mount Sinai

  • Navigates triage and admissions with you

  • Provides continuous labor support through every phase

  • Works collaboratively with the Mount Sinai midwifery or OB team

  • Advocates clearly for your birth preferences

  • Stays through delivery and your first postpartum hour

  • Returns for Fresh48 photography if booked

Your Birth Story at Mount Sinai: 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 Mount Sinai can add any of these to their doula package:

  • Birth photography by your doula. The same person supporting you on Labor & Delivery (Klingenstein Pavilion, 2nd floor) quietly documents your labor and your baby's first moments. Mount Sinai welcomes two support people in labor, so your partner and your doula can both be with you.

  • Fresh48 in your postpartum room. Soft, unposed photos of your first days together, taken at Mount Sinai before you go home. See Fresh48 at Mount Sinai →

  • Maternity session in Central Park. At 32–36 weeks, in the Conservatory Garden at 105th Street and Fifth Avenue, a few blocks from where you will deliver.
