Collection: Birth Center

Birth centers are healthcare facilities that specialize in childbirth. They aim to offer the mother and family a comfortable birth environment. Unlike hospitals, birthing centers don't usually have staff that readily provide obstetrics or neonatal care.These services are often present in a labor and delivery ward of a hospital instead. For this reason, birth centers can be a good choice for scheduled pregnancies that don't have any known complications or risks.Midwives and doulas commonly work in birthing centers and oversee the labor of the mother. Obstetricians may work in birthing centers and be available as a resource in the event of an unexpected complication. These facilities are good options for those interested in obstetrics in addition to the emotional aspects of pregnancy and childbirth.
