A Team Effort
Every member of our team works closely with your OBGYN to provide seamless care and support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
What's the Difference Between a Laborist, Midwife, and Doula?
- A laborist is an obstetrician dedicated exclusively to providing onsite support 24/7 for expectant mothers. A laborist doesn't replace your OB, but works and collaborates closely with your OB to ensure a smooth and safe birth experience in the event of an emergency, or if your doctor is unavailable at the time of your arrival. A laborist can manage deliveries and respond to emergencies, and step in to provide immediate care at all times, ensuring you and your baby remain in expert hands every step of the way.
- A midwife is a certified healthcare professional who specializes in prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum care. A midwife is focused on providing holistic, personalized support to expectant moms, typically in lower-risk pregnancies.
- A doula is a non-medical birth coach, selected and brought in by mom. Doulas can play a crucial role during pregnancy and childbirth, offering additional information, education, and a range of emotional, physical, and spiritual support services. From massages to breathing techniques and positioning suggestions, this can help make the labor process more comfortable.
Keeping You Close to Baby–By Design
All private mother/baby suites as well as labor, delivery, and recovery rooms, are in the same unit as the nursery, so you're never far from your little one.
