Birthing center near you in Green Bay

What is a birth center?

Birth or birthing centers are private, home-like health care settings centered around a more natural birth experience. For healthy, low-risk pregnant women, birth centers offer minimal medical intervention during childbirth.

Private birthing centers differ from hospitals in their medical approach toward care: The birthing center model promotes natural pregnancy care that results in lower rates of medication use and intervention, such as the use of forceps, vacuum extraction and cesarean (C-section) deliveries. Hospital-based deliveries are often treated as medical events and are monitored more closely; this offers peace of mind should you need immediate, specialized childbirth care during labor and delivery.

What are the benefits of a birth center?

Birthing centers are typically focused on the mother’s comfort, wishes and birth options, including the desire for less technology and nonmedical labor, delivery and post-pregnancy care. Pregnant women may be able to labor more freely, from walking around to changing positions to even laboring in whirlpool bathtubs.
