The Birth Center Experience …
You are in charge of your pregnancy and childbirth options. The Women's Health and Birth Center is your partner, with its expertise and resources at your service. As a client of the Birth Center you can expect:
- A safe birth in a homelike setting without unnecessary medical intervention
- A partnership with your provider in an atmosphere of mutual respect
- Personal support that will help reduce anxiety and pain during labor and birth
- An opportunity to experience your pregnancy and childbirth in an emotionally positive way
- Support by a registered nurse during and after your birth. Home visits by an RN are a routine part of our care after your delivery, and a certified lactation consultant is available to help if breastfeeding concerns arise.
- Trained labor assistants (doulas) are available for all WHBC clients at no additional charge
- Midwifery care and support even if your situation requires transfer to the hospital. Our midwives have privileges at Sutter Medical Center (formerly Community Hospital) of Santa Rosa.
For many women, the experience of motherhood is the most profound identity shift of a lifetime. At the Birth Center, you are among friends.
