Why Are More Women Choosing Birthing Centers Over Hospitals?

The trend towards a more natural and personalized birthing experience continues to grow as women seek alternatives to the rather traditional hospital setting. Our Birthing Center in the NYC vicinity offers comforts and facilities that differ greatly from a hospital environment and give women many more options and choices as to how their experience unfolds.

In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the main reasons why some women choose birthing centers over hospitals and the advantages you can look forward to if you decide on this approach.

Putting Safety First

One of the primary concerns for pregnant mothers is the safety of both baby and mom. Birthing centers offer a combination of using your chosen care provider, credentialed at OBC, to be present during labor and delivery, along highly-trained staff who will also attend to the delivery. The best of both worlds is brought together in a common mission of safe labor and delivery.

On the whole, you can expect to feel comfortable and at ease at a birthing center and go through the process in the most natural way possible.

A Shorter Stay Away From Home

Generally, the turnaround time from birth until discharge for a birthing center is just four to six hours. This means that moms, babies, and supporters can be back in the comfort and familiarity of their home environment very soon after birth and enjoy bonding with the baby in a comfortable space. 

That being said, we’re happy for you to move at your own pace. You are a priority to us. 

The Power to Decide Your Own Experience

If you are passionate about a natural birthing experience and your health provider finds you to be a suitable candidate, opting for a birthing center is a great idea. Many women prefer the idea of allowing the process to occur as naturally as possible with minimal medical intervention. 

Our team is equipped to offer advice and enhance your experience, facilitating the comfort of the expectant mother, baby, and the rest of the family.
