Peter Lougheed Hospital

Unit 31 3500 26 Ave NE, Calgary, AB T1Y 6J4

We deliver out of the Peter Lougheed Hospital. At any point during your pregnancy, if you believe you may be in labour, you do not need to let the clinic know. Go directly to Unit 31 - third floor. Bring your AB healthcare card and let them know you are a patient at NEST. A physician is always on call to provide your care.

What to expect on AT THE HOSPITAL?

Triage. This is where you check in. When you are asked for your Drs name just say ‘NEST’. An RN will assess you and alert the Doctor. One support person is allowed.

On the Labour unit, you will have a private room with space for you and your support person(s). Up to two support people (no children) are allowed.

  • Each labour room has a private bathroom with a shower

  • One on one nursing care with a registered nurse. Your nurse will change roughly every 12 hours

  • Once you have had your baby and we have ensured that there are no complications for you or the baby, you will be transferred to a new room on our postpartum unit.

  • Please visit here for a virtual tour of our hospital

Post Partum Unit. This is where you and your baby will stay until it’s time to go home. Two support people are allowed to visit at a time (children included). We encourage fewer visitors on the Post Partum unit so that our new mothers and babies can rest. :) We try to place all mother’s in a private room. In a private room, one support person is able to stay overnight. If the unit becomes busy, you may need to share with another mother and baby. Two mother’s is the maximum in a room. If it is a shared room, partner’s may not be able to stay over night due to space limitations. We are not able to pre book rooms, due to the unpredictable nature of the labour unit.

Please call NEST as soon as possible after delivery to book your first new baby visit. We aim to see new mothers and babies within 5-7 days after birth, sooner if there are concerns. We will see you and your baby at our clinic for 6 weeks before transferring your care back to your Family Doctor.
