Why Choose Family Birth Center
A birth center is an excellent, as well as cost-saving, choice for families who view pregnancy and birth as a normal process rather than a medical event. At the Family Birth Center in Great Falls, Montana, our philosophy is to provide personalized, supportive care that allows each mother to trust in her body’s ability to give birth, while providing the information she needs to make informed choices.
Family Birth Center offers:
- The continuous care and support of your midwife and her assistant, as well as the love and encouragement of the family/friends you have chosen to accompany you during labor and birth
- The freedom to move about in labor
- Natural forms of pain relief, which include laboring in warm, moving/jetted water, frequent position changes, massage, and pain medication if desired
- Deliver in the position that works best for you
- Your baby will be in your arms as you deliver
- Assistance with breastfeeding
- Support of your choice to nurse or bottle feed
- A comfortable home-like environment where IV’s, oxygen, medication, and infant resuscitation equipment are close at hand in the rare case that these safety items are needed
- A good relationship between the birth center staff and the local healthcare system if consultation, referral or transport is required
