Neonatal Intensive Care Unity (NICU)

In any unexpected moment, you can rely on us to be ready should anything unusual arise. Houston Methodist Clear Lake is prepared for those newborns who need extra care. In partnership with Texas Children’s Hospital, our level II NICU, located next to the maternity unit, is staffed by highly trained nurses and expert neonatology providers who monitor our high-risk and premature babies 24/7 on-site at Houston Methodist Clear Lake.

Breast Pump Depot

Because we know that babies do not always come when expected, the Breast Pump Depot at Houston Methodist Clear Lake can provide a brand-new breast pump prior to your discharge. This allows you to learn how to use the pump to express milk prior to going home. Please check with your insurance for this coverage and inform your nurses if you need a breast pump during your stay.

Postpartum Physical Therapy

The weeks following childbirth are an important time for recovering your strength and function. For women, the postpartum period starts right after giving birth and lasts from about six weeks to several months.

Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses postpartum disorders, such as abdominal wall separation, incontinence, constipation and/or pain in the pelvic, vaginal and rectal areas.

Our team of highly specialized physical therapists is well prepared to work with you to optimize your recovery and function. A physician’s referral is required for starting pelvic floor physical therapy. For information or to schedule an appointment, call 281.333.8806.

Maternal Fetal Medicine
