Home birth can be a really positive experience for so many people. You get to ditch the noise and the chaos of the hospital in exchange for an intimate space where you can actually take control of your labor. Unfortunately, it’s just not a possibility for everyone. Whether you don’t have the designated space or you just don’t want to deal with the prep work, a birth center can be a great alternative! As a New Jersey family photographer, I get the chance to chat with people who have had all kinds of birth experiences. Here is why I always recommend Our Birthing Center!
25 Lindsley Drive, Morristown, New Jersey 07960
Our Birthing Center is a practice with two New Jersey locations, including Morristown and Guttenberg. Their philosophy is pretty simple: birth is typically not a medical emergency, and it shouldn’t be treated as such. They set out to create a space where you could comfortably give birth without any interventions. The result is truly something to behold! Here, you will feel like you are at a spa rather than at a stuffy medical center. You will have the ability to call the shots so you can have the birth experience you’ve always wanted.
Our Birthing Center is a midwife-operated space that focuses just on your delivery. Early in your pregnancy, you will start to see a midwife who has been credentialed through the center. If they haven’t been credentialed, they can apply before your delivery. As you near your due date, you will sign up for a childbirth preparation class through the center, where you will learn what to expect throughout your labor.
Then comes the big day! When your contractions start, you will be placed in your own suite, which will have a large tub for hydrotherapy. You get to decide everything, including who is by your side throughout labor, how you move to get through the contractions, and whether or not you eat. Your midwife will attend to your needs and only use interventions if absolutely necessary.
Once your baby is born, you will get plenty of time to bond. You will be discharged between 2-24 hours after your delivery so you can recover from the comfort of home.
Our Birthing Center wants to make sure you feel completely prepared before your due date. They are going to be there to answer all your questions and help you find the resources that will get you through labor. If you want a doula, they will work with you to find the perfect person. They are also exceptional about walking through your insurance statement of benefits so you can know what you will pay.
With Our Birthing Center, you are going to have the birth you’ve always wanted! If you think this is your spot, schedule your tour so you can know for sure.
