Services

Choosing Our Birthing Center means you’ll feel like you’re delivering in a luxury hotel! The décor emphasizes the normality of birth; it will feel like you hardly left home. The Birthing Suites has amenities like:

big birthing tubs to use throughout labor and delivery,
sit-down showers,
essential oil diffusers,
birthing balls,
luxurious towels and robes,
Wi-Fi,
rocking chairs, and
so much more.

These amenities ensure you and your partner have everything you need for a comfortable birth. There’s also plenty of space for your invited family, doulas, and friends, and a large family room and kitchen to accommodate your guests.

Throughout your labor, you’ll be encouraged to move around, eat, and drink as you see fit. There’s no electronic fetal monitoring to keep you in bed (only handheld doppler ultrasounds), so you can move between your bed, the tub, shower, a birthing ball, or wherever. You are in charge of which positions you push in, and any other decisions about what your body may need throughout this process; your midwives and nurses will attend to your needs while watching to ensure everything is going smoothly.

Hydrotherapy is encouraged throughout your birth at Our Birthing Center. Soaking in warm water is soothing, comforting, and relaxing, helping to lower anxiety and focus on your experience. It also seems to reduce stress-related hormones, allowing your body to produce endorphins that act as natural pain inhibitors. Water Births are also an option should you choose to deliver your baby in the tub.

Specialty

Once your baby has arrived, you will be released to bond and rest with your baby in your home. Typically, the center discharges families 4 to 6 hours after delivery. If you and your baby are doing well, they may release you as early as two hours after delivery, or up to 24 if you need more time.

Then, a postpartum RN will be sent to your home to check in, see how things are going, and perform newborn screening tests. The emphasis is always on you and your baby being together once they have arrived. The tests can wait until you rest comfortably in your bed with your baby by your side.
