A normal pregnancy is 40 weeks (9 lunar months). Research has shown that babies who are 'full term' 39-41 weeks of pregnancy are less likely to have complications and require Neonatal Intensive Care support. This is a measure that tracks for the MHS and across the nation, the number of babies delivered by 'choice' (elective) who are younger (less) than 39 weeks whose mother is not in labor and has no medical complications. We count the number of times a baby is delivered that has completed less than 39 weeks whose mother is not in labor and has no medical complications.

You expect your hospital or clinic to provide quality care and so do we. That's why the MHS requires all of our military clinics and hospitals go through on-site surveys by nationally-recognized accreditation organizations every three years. This report will show you the accreditation status of your facility, which accreditation organization the facility used, and the date of the last survey.
When you are having a baby, it is important that you have confidence in the hospital you are considering for delivery. Hospitals that have fewer deliveries are okay for uncomplicated pregnancies. Hospitals that deliver more babies are often better for complicated pregnancies. We count and report the number of babies delivered in our military hospitals both by cesarean or normal delivery.
