Obstetrical, Gynecological, and Well Newborn Care

Important Notice:  For more information about the impact of a shortage of epidural catheters, click here.

As the largest Obstetrics program in Southeastern Ontario, we provide care to women and babies from all across our region.  Our highly trained teams are able to support both low-risk deliveries as well as high-risk ones. This means, whatever your needs are, we have the staff, expertise and facilities to meet them. At Kingston Health Sciences Centre, Obstetrics care is delivered at our Kingston General Hospital (KGH) site.

Most often, you'll be in touch with our teams when it comes time to deliver your baby. Hundreds of babies are born at KGH each year, and each birth is special. That's why we'll work closely with you and your primary caregiver to support you in meeting your wishes. To help us do that, we suggest you write down your wishes, so that you can share them with us when you arrive on the day of your baby's birth. If you would like more information as you prepare to have your baby at KGH, please click here.

Aside from labour and delivery we provide a range of other care services, including education, ranging from prenatal to postpartum and newborn care. We do this to ensure that you are supported through your journey towards the birth of your new baby. The Obstetrics program also offers a number of outpatient clinics to support you through your health-care journey. For more information on our outpatient clinics, including our infertility clinic and fetal assessment unit, click here.
