A Birthing Center is geared up to supporting the mother in giving birth and making her as comfortable as possible providing equipment not normally available in hospitals such as birthing pools. They do generally have some qualified nurses and access to doctors but most of the staff will be carers providing for comfort requirements and helping the mother have the baby in the manner they want, rather than for medical needs.

Can a hot tub make y give birth?

Some birthing centers use a hot tub for labor and delivery. It is called a water birth. A hot tub in itself can not make you go into labor, it can alleviate the pains of labor if done correctly in a controlled environment like a birthing center.


You are expecting your eighth. When should you call your doula during labor?

During prenatal appointments with your doula, the two of you will discuss when you should call when you go into labor. It depends on a number of factors: whether you are delivering at home or in a hospital or birth center, and how far your birthing site is from your home, how quickly your previous labors have progressed, how long you would like to labor at home before going to the hospital or birth center (if applicable) and personal choice. Some women want their doulas with them as soon as they start feeling labor pains, others opt to call when they are headed to the hospital or when their labor starts to get more active and intense. There is no right answer, just what is right for you and your doula.

Is yellow spotting common in early pregnancy?

I read my whole pregnancy What to ecpext when your ecpexting it tells you week by week about your baby and i loved it. To me it seemed to make my pregnancy go fast as every week i would read what my baby is developing. I also read The everything birthing book as it tells you different birthing ways. I went to Wal mart to buy them that was the cheapest place for me. i live in Maine. If you buy things online you can search online might be cheaper. What type of classes do you want to take. birthing classes or something like yoga? I did yoga for my whole pregnancy and i seemed to be relaxed through it all. for birthing classes i took Birthing without fear as i wanted a no meds labor and i got it. It talks about breathing not like lamaz breathing at all. helps with some pressures your person that is going in with you can do on you when your in labor. I hope this helps some. Through your hospital I took my classes. Talk with your midwife or Dr about where you can sign up for these that is how I took them. My classes for both were right in the hospital.


How does a birthing ball help during the labor and birthing process?

How do you choose a birth class?

I would choose a class that is not affiliated with your hospital. Find an independent instructor who teaches Bradley, Birthworks, Birthing From Within, or ALACE. These classes are geared towards providing a wealth of resources for coping with labor. Hospital classes generally include a lot of hospital protocol, and you will learn more valuable info from an independent educator.

Does a birthing ball bring labor on quicker even if your not engaged?

The birthing ball or anything else should not be used to speed up labour unless it is medically necessary. The birthing ball's primary purpose is to help you find a comfortable position and to focus your attention ready for the onset of labour.

How animals give birth?

Placental mammals go into labor when the developing fetus produces hormones which signal the mother's body that birthing is imminent. Uterine contractions cause the expulsion of the fetus through the birthing canal to the outside.
