Innovative Pain- and Stress-Relief Options
Whether you wish to manage your pain naturally or use medications during
labor, our experienced labor-and-delivery team will be there to offer
you caring support and guidance.
Natural Pain-Relief Options: We offer many stress- and pain-relieving holistic therapies, including
aromatherapy and self-pay acupuncture treatments. In addition, each of
our delivery suites has a spa tub, birth balls and squat bars to ease
your contractions.
Pain-Relief Medications: Our experienced labor and delivery nurses are here to support you with
nitrous oxide, an inhaled pain reliever that you can control. While using
nitrous, you can move around freely in labor. If you decide to have something
additional for pain, such as an epidural or intravenous pain medication,
an experienced anesthesiologist is available to meet your needs 24 hours a day.
Inpatient Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Our team of pelvic floor physical therapists have specialized training
in pelvic floor rehabilitation and are now available to consult with new
moms while they’re still inpatients at our Family Birth Center.
They’ll cover such things as pelvic floor health, safe return to
exercise after delivery and body mechanics to avoid undue strain or pain,
especially in the stomach or back areas. They will also answer all your
questions and provide information about BCH
outpatient services for pelvic floor rehabilitation.
Family Birth Center Visitation
Labor & Delivery encourages a limit of TWO birthing partners who can
care for and support a patient in labor. Birthing partners are encouraged
to stay with mother and baby throughout their stay.
For visitors under the age of 12, view our current
visitation policy.
To protect vulnerable patients, our Special Care Nursery is open to no
more than two people at a time.
Quiet hours are between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. No visitors are
permitted in the Family Birth Center during those hours.
