This means that if you want to birth at the birth center, it is wise to educate yourself on what to expect and how to best cope with discomfort and pain during labor. We do not offer access to IV pain relief, epidurals, or nitrous oxide at the birth center. Preparing for Natural Labor and New Birthīirths at the birth center are natural – meaning not just vaginal, but also unmedicated. Our birth center is equipped with all the necessary remedies and instruments to manage the most common birth complications including: oxygen, medications for excessive bleeding, neonatal resuscitation equipment, IV supplies, and suturing instruments. Occasionally the midwife may use herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, or medications to manage any complications. Because labors can vary in length and intensity, the midwife will alternate her clinical duties (such as charting, taking your vitals, checking on your labor progress, and monitoring the baby’s heartbeat) with resting so that she will be alert and ready in case of any complications that may arise during the labor and birth. Once you are admitted to the birth center, you will receive on-on-one care from the midwife and her assistant(s) whether your labor lasts 4 or 40 hours. During labor, the midwife will regularly listen to the baby’s heartbeat using a handheld device called a doppler, which allows her to monitor the baby’s wellbeing while you can also move about freely without having to constantly wear a fetal monitor. We believe strongly in freedom of movement in labor, and know that periodic position changes help the process along in the most efficient way possible.
