Within the maternity department at James Cook we have dedicated rooms, where you can spend precious time with your baby.
Some families choose to spend a short time in hospital and some families decide to stay longer, the choice is yours.
The Snowdrop Suite
The Snowdrop Suite is a private room located on central delivery suite where your care will be provided before, during and after the birth of your baby. The room features an en-suite bathroom and kitchen area. The Snowdrop Suite opened in 2023 thanks to the fantastic fundraising efforts of bereaved families, hospital staff and local businesses.
Following the birth of your baby you can stay in this room and spend time meeting your baby and making precious memories.
Our midwives are experienced in supporting families with the practicalities of this and can provide you with items which you can use to make precious memories.
