PULSE Spring 2023 5 The Family Birthing Center at Central Peninsula Hospital offers expert, personalized care in a warm and welcoming environment. Our dedicated team of physicians, midwives and nurses is proud to offer you a variety of birthing options. Whether you plan an unmedicated delivery, medicated delivery or cesarean section, our family of physicians is readily available to meet your unique birthing needs. We are also proud to offer gentle cesarean sections and vaginal births after cesarean (VBACs) when appropriate. Designed for your comfort The Family Birthing Center is designed to meet the individual needs of parents and babies. Your labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (LDRP) experience all takes place in the same room. The LDRP rooms offer homelike amenities, such as spacious soaking tubs and queen-sized Murphy beds. Infants are encouraged to room-in with their families; however, the nursery is available as needed. The Family Birthing Center is excited to now offer nitrous oxide for our expecting mothers. Nitrous oxide is a low-risk pain relief option that can be used during labor and after delivery. Talk with your doctor or care team today to see if nitrous oxide is an option for your upcoming labor experience. Skilled breastfeeding support The Family Birthing Center also has an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. Our lactation consultant can assist you one-on-one and offer advice about soreness, proper infant latching, pumping, bottle-feeding and returning to work, and she can provide overall support during your breastfeeding experience. Our lactation consultant also offers perinatal consultations for expecting patients who would like education on breastfeeding prior to their baby’s arrival. Give us a call!
