The Benefits of Choosing a Birthing Center Over a Hospital

Couple with Baby

Welcoming new life into the world is a significant journey to embark on. The journey takes parents through the highs and sometimes the lows of early parenthood. Few decisions are as important as deciding where to deliver your new bundle of joy.

Although the conventional choice has been the nearest hospital within driving distance, an alternative option is available to expectant parents: Our Birthing Center, a birthing center just outside of NYC, is quickly becoming the go-to. 

From tailored services to a personalized approach and comfortable settings, there are many benefits to choosing a birthing center over a hospital.

A Calm, Comfortable Environment Awaits

Although hospitals provide life-saving healthcare, they tend to be highly active environments and may add more stress to your birth. There is limited privacy, which can leave you feeling vulnerable and insecure.

Conversely, at Our Birthing Center, we strive to create a serene, comfortable, and intimate environment to ensure you have a positive experience. Our staff works hard to cultivate a sense of calm and exude a certain ambience to foster a serene atmosphere.

Family-Centric Approach

Unlike the hospital's clinical approach to your birthing journey, you can expect family-centered care at Our Birthing Center. We prioritize your and your family’s comfort, which differs significantly from hospital facilities. We welcome family involvement during labor and delivery if you so wish. The layout of our birthing suites allows for the presence of birthing partners and family members, creating a supportive and inclusive space for the entire family to share in the joyous experience. 

We Facilitate Natural Birth & Freedom of Movement

Inductions, medicated, and surgical births are often the norm in hospitals, with very few alternatives to support natural birth options if chosen. Our Birthing Center prioritizes mother’s choices and provides a conducive environment for women who desire minimal medical interventions during labor. This emphasis on natural birth empowers women to trust their bodies and actively participate in the birthing process.

Our Birthing Center offers more flexibility in terms of birthing positions and movement during labor. Expectant mothers have the freedom to explore positions that are comfortable for them, fostering a sense of control and empowerment over their birthing experience.

Choosing a birthing center in NYC over a hospital can be beneficial for creating memorable and positive birthing experiences. With many advantages to consider, Our Birthing Center on the Hudson, just outside of Manhattan, can be a viable choice for you.
