FRH: The Birth Day Place

There is no other family event as significant as the birth of a family member. Participating in the gift of life is a very precious experience. At The Birth Day Place our caring staff is there to help make the most of this very special time.

We go beyond providing high quality health care for the expectant mother's physical needs. We offer education, participation and emotional support for all members of the expectant family. Our family-oriented philosophy extends to the entire family-fathers, siblings, grandparents, or any others you may choose to include in the birth of your baby.

Because we recognize that giving birth is a very personal experience, we try to individualize our services to suit the wishes and needs of the parents. There's nothing better for the start of your child's life than letting you play an active role in your maternity experience.

Your Birth Experience

At The Birth Day Place we try to incorporate your personal preferences to create an atmosphere that makes you most comfortable. Our goal is to make your birth experience what you dream it should be.

Your personal desires for this birth experience are always considered. You can decide with your doctor who should be with you during labor and delivery and whether they should participate in the birthing process. You can select your favorite music to listen to, or watch videos in the privacy of your own Suite. Each room has its own garden view with an abundance of natural light. In the evening you can adjust the level of lighting to suit your preference. A private jacuzzi is available for your comfort in early labor. Medications and Anesthesia are also available upon your doctors request.

Of course, ethically and legally we must follow the accepted practices of the medical nursing professions in recommending types of monitoring and other treatment. Should your wishes differ, we will be glad to discuss them with you.

Fundamental to your experience is the sensitivity and caring of our maternity staff. We are noted for our friendly and comforting staff. Our knowledgeable nurses will assist you through labor, delivery and recovery, and also advise you on the care of your newborn. Some additional suggestions to consider are Birth Certificate information, nursing bra, extra pillows and a camera.

If you bring a video camera, please plan ahead and have the battery charged. For the baby you should bring a receiving blanket and a going home outfit. A car seat is required by law for infants. Please don't bring any valuables, jewelry or medicines other than those requested by your doctor.

Private Birthing Suites

The unique design of our beautifully decorated rooms provide for any special care that you or your baby may require while maintaining a comfortable home-like setting.

The single room birthing experience allows you the comfort and support of having loved ones nearby during the entire birth process. The family is encouraged to remain with you during the important bonding time immediately following birth. Fathers are encouraged to spend the night. This provides a special time for mom and dad to get to know their new family member. This also is a great opportunity for both mom and dad to ask questions and learn to care for baby.

Cesarean Birth

At The Birth Day Place, mothers who give birth by cesarean section are also able to share the experience with someone close to them. We offer a special Cesarean Birth Class to prepare you and your partner, should cesarean be necessary. If your delivery is a normal, non-emergency cesarean, with your obstetricians approval, your partner may remain with you during the birth to support you and to welcome your baby's arrival.

After the surgery is completed you will be first taken to a recovery room for observation. If you are awake enough and request it, the baby may be brought to you for breast feeding. After the recovery period, you'll be taken back to your OB room.
