TCHC physicians do not deliver babies. Each prenatal patient will choose or be assigned to one of the 16 obstetricians at Home Hospital in Lafayette. Clinic prenatal patients will see an obstetrician during the last month of pregnancy. Each woman is also given the contact information of her obstetrician to reach them after hours in case of an emergency.
