Postpartum and Maternity Wards

There are four maternity wards at Shaare Zedek Medical Center and two at Bikur Cholim. Each ward has spacious rooms, up to three beds per room. 
Each room is equipped with comfortable nursing chairs, personal dressers, a bathroom and a shower. 

Your newborn can stay by your side throughout the day except during the medical examinations. These are performed in the nursery, and during the night, unless you have requested rooming-in.
The babies are treated at the nurseries attached to the maternity wards, or at the NICU if needed.

For your comfort, we offer you bathrobes, towels, regular and frozen pads (to alleviate swelling around the stitches), a kitchenette with a water cooler, hot beverages, a fridge for personal food items and a detailed instruction brochure about caring for yourself and your baby (please ask the nurse for this).

Do not get out of bed by yourself for the first time after delivery. Please call the nurse (using a call button by your bed) to help you off your bed for the first time. There are also call buttons in every bathroom. If you don't feel well, or are experiencing intensive bleeding or other pains, call the nurse immediately.
