Bay Area Medical Center has a comprehensive OB department. 
For the expectant parents, a 6-week prenatal program provides instruction on nutrition, labor, delivery, breastfeeding, baby care, sibling preparation and cesarean section education. To view the upcoming Childbirth Class schedule 
BAMC also invites new moms and their babies to spend an extra night relaxing at "The Cuddle Inn," an extended stay program in which meals, education and nursing services all are provided for an additional 24 hours beyond what insurance programs normally cover for routine deliveries. The extended stay program cost is just $25.
In general, the spouse, support person, or children may visit at any time. We ask that other family and friends visit from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you wish to limit visitors, let your nurse know. We ask that anyone with symptoms of an illness not visit the hospital. By starting visiting hours at 10 a.m., it gives a chance for new moms to visit with both their and their baby's doctor, have some education time with staff, and get some personal time for care before the "rush" of visitors starts. For privacy, we may ask that visitors step out of the room when/if the physician makes rounds to mom and baby.
