The Family Birth Center offers various childbirth options including positioning choices, pain medication and hydrotherapy (water birth).

Pain Management
We also offer traditional pain management medications such as epidurals administered by certified anesthesiologists. Our staff encourages positions changes and other methods of natural pain management.

Water Birth
Water birth has been around for centuries, and because of the therapeutic properties of warm water immersion, it is regaining popularity in America. We are the first in the region to offer hydrotherapy waterbirth as an alternative birthing procedure.

Water birth provides a medication free alternative while reducing discomfort during labor and delivery. This natural delivery provides a relaxing environment for pain management and a smooth transition for your baby into the world. It can make you calmer, lower your blood pressure, and lead to a more efficient labor.

Moreover, we offer a full range of educational classes from breastfeeding to childbirth education (see links to the right); helping the entire family welcome the miracle of your new addition.
