The Sweet Anticipation of a New Baby Regardless of whether a woman is expecting her first or her fourth baby, Memorial Hermann Sugar Land seeks to make each pregnancy and childbirth an extraordinary experience.

stay,” said Fort Bend resident Amy Raley. “I also liked how we could send our baby to the nursery if we needed to, and we did send him there for four or five hours the first night so I could get some sleep.”

The spacious and tastefully decorated rooms include hotel-like amenities: whirlpool tub, refrigerator, television, DVD player and a convertible guest bed. Complimentary music and massage therapies are also available. “My husband loved the bed for his overnight stay,” said Raley. “It was much bigger than the bed we had at the last hospital where we delivered.”

New moms, like Raley, also appreciate the knowledgeable nursing staff that is dedicated to meeting their every need. “The nurses were really great,” said Raley. “We could call them about anything at any time, and they were very helpful in answering questions.”
