Our Commitment to Emergency Prevention and Response

Welcoming a new baby into the world is a moment filled with joy and anticipation, but the safety and well-being of both mother and child are of supreme importance. At Our Birthing Centers, emergency prevention and response is our priority as we strive to provide a safe and secure birthing experience for our NJ and NYC families.

How We Prioritize Your Safety

We believe that the best way to handle an emergency is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Our Birthing Center is staffed by a team of compassionate, skilled, and credentialed midwives who are trained to identify potential problems before they escalate, such as abnormal fetal heart rates or signs of prolonged labor. 

If certain conditions arise, such as a breech presentation discovered during labor or the presence of meconium in the amniotic fluid, our team will arrange a seamless transfer to a local hospital for more specialized care. Your care provider will determine the best mode of transport, making sure it is a quick and efficient transition.

From the first prenatal check-up to the moment of delivery, we closely monitor both mom and baby to catch any signs of potential complications and take action as needed.

Our commitment to emergency preparedness also includes regular staff drills and training. Each team member is knowledgeable in emergency transfer procedures for both mother and infant, giving families an added layer of reassurance.

We Are Prepared to Handle the Unexpected

When emergencies arise, you can be sure that we will act quickly and effectively. Our center has established strong partnerships with some of the leading hospitals in New Jersey to make sure that, if specialized care is needed, transfers are seamless and fast.

Certain situations may require a hospital transfer after birth for mom or baby. In all cases, our focus remains on maintaining a calm, supportive atmosphere and ensuring continuity of care as your provider accompanies you.
