DELIVERY OPTIONS
  • Water birth
    i Water birth means delivering your baby in a tub. Some facilities offer tubs for labor only. Learn more about water birth here.
  • Breech trial of labor
    i If your baby is bottom first instead of head down as you approach your due date, providers that allow "breech trial of labor" may give you the opportunity to labor vaginally instead of automatically scheduling you for a cesarean birth.
  • VBAC trial of labor
    i If you had a prior c-section, some providers may give you the opportunity to begin labor and try to deliver vaginally, which is a trial of "vaginal birth after cesarean" or VBAC. Learn more about VBAC here.
  • VBA2+C trial of labor
    i If you've had more than one prior c-section, some providers may give you the opportunity to begin labor and try to delivery vaginally, which is a trial of vaginal birth after 2 or more cesareans or VBA2+C trial of labor. Learn more about VBAC here.

    Emergency delivery care: Our New Life Center has its own operating suites which are fully equipped to accommodate cesarean deliveries and handle emergencies. Anesthesiologists are on-site 24/7 for emergencies and optimal pain management during labor.

    Special care nursery: We are ready for anything, and can care for babies as low as 32 weeks gestation with high acuity in our special care nursery.

    All of our birthing center nurses are certified in the AAP/AHA Neonatal Resuscitation Program and are present at your delivery to provide your baby with expert care. While you and your baby are in the hospital, you’ll see our nursing leaders daily to ensure that our team is meeting all of your expectations, and a nurse will follow-up with you after you’re discharged to make sure that all is going well with you and your baby at home. All obstetric nurses are experts in electronic fetal monitoring in order to carefully monitor both you and your baby during labor and delivery.
