Birthing Centers
"I don't know if I would try a home birth for the first child! But the birthing center idea sounds very nice. I didn't realize they were so much less expensive! Do they offer all the same precautions and services in case of an emergency? -Erin"
Not all birth centers are created equal.. there are many different kinds and varieties. So I can't speak for them all. I can tell you that if the birth center is accredited by the National Association of Childbearing Centers they have to abide by certain standards. You can click here to see if there is an NACC accredited birth center near you.
The one we were blessed to use was only a block away from the hospital in case anything happened and the over-seeing doctor, nurses, and CNM's were very experienced and qualified. I hemorrhaged rather severely after Kathrynne was born and has to receive a number of shots to stop the bleeding. I was very grateful for their quick action knowledge to prevent further complications. We were very impressed with the excellent balance there was between modern medicine and natural childbirth.
