All rights reserved. Great Expectations By Kathy Mullins Forget all of your preconceptions about birth. From prenatal diagnostics to postnatal care, from delivery room procedures to the father's involvement during the pregnancy, the process is undergoing a revolution.

Women know when and how they want to become pregnant.
They fit it into their lifestyles. Hackensack University Medical Center has one of the highest fertility success rates in the region. Child-birth preparation is for all parents, whether or not they are planning a natural delivery. When couples discuss lifestyle issues, work is a frequent topic. Many women want to continue working until the last possible minute to accumulate more benefit time after the birth.
