When you arrive at the hospital to give birth, you will need to register. You can do so at our Patient Registration area on the second floor of the hospital or by entering through our Emergency Department.
Patient Registration is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day.

After the birth of your baby, the two of you will be moved to one of our Mother/Baby rooms on The Birth Place. We help to foster a family experience by supporting rooming-in for your new baby.
Rooming-in allows you to better understand your baby and get bonding off to a terrific start. A respite nursery is available for moms who are physically unable to care for their little ones, or just need a few hours to nap.

Should your baby arrive a little ahead of schedule, The Birth Place has an 18-bed level II Special Care Nursery staffed by Duke Neonatologists.
This nursery provides care for at-risk, acutely ill, and convalescing infants as early as 32 weeks of gestation.
