Welcoming new life and caring for women’s health at every age is at the heart of our Obstetrics & Gynecology Department. American-Board Specialists lead a team that pampers expectant mothers and empowers women with knowledge and choices. Our state-of-the-art labor and delivery suites feature modern fetal monitors and comfortable birthing tubs. With beautiful views of mountains and sea visible from some rooms, we turn anxiety into anticipation.
Pregnancy & Childbirth: Whether this is your first pregnancy or your third, we are by your side. We offer regular prenatal care with clear explanations, advanced ultrasound scans, and any high-risk monitoring needed (we work with neonatologists and have a well-equipped NICU). Pain relief options (from warm showers to epidurals) are available. After delivery, our lactation consultants and midwives help you and your baby thrive together.
Gynecological Care: We perform preventive screenings (pap smears, breast exams) in a comfortable, private setting. For issues like fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or infertility, our specialists guide you through treatment plans. We offer minimally invasive laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries, so recovery is quicker and scar is minimal. Our fertility and family planning counselors are here to discuss everything from IVF referrals to natural family spacing in a respectful way.
Supportive Environment: We understand modesty and cultural considerations matter. Our female patients are often greeted by our all-female nursing team. Child-friendly play areas in the maternity ward keep little siblings occupied.
Warm, Personal Touch: “My Dr. told me, ‘You’re never alone in this journey,’ shares Maya from Jounieh, who gave birth at KMC. “Throughout my labor, the team was patient with every need – even having a juice from home ready for me. My baby was breech, and I ended up with a C-section, but they explained each step. In recovery, I had room with a view and nurses who checked on me and my little Noor around the clock. It felt like care from a trusted family.”
Common Questions:
“Can my husband stay during birth?” Yes, KMC encourages family support. Each labor suite can accommodate one companion at your request. We also have sleeping rooms for families of neonatal ICU babies.
“Do you allow natural delivery after a C-section?” We practice VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) under safe conditions, if you’re eligible. We thoroughly discuss risks and benefits in prenatal visits.
“How do I get help with breastfeeding?” On-site lactation consultants offer one-on-one sessions. We also run gentle postpartum classes (even via video calls) so you feel confident feeding and caring for your newborn.
Unique KMC Advantages: Our OB/GYN doctors have trained internationally (some returned from Europe or the US), bringing best practices back to our community. Yet, we pair that expertise with genuine warmth. We always have Arabic-speaking obstetricians on duty (important for many patients), and our maternal care includes nutrition advice for local diets (think balanced mezze instead of just protein shakes!). We celebrate new life with you, from congratulatory kahwe (coffee) in the lounge to warm attire for your baby’s first days. Your joy is our joy.
