BIRTH CENTERMany women find that by giving birth
at a birth center instead of the hospital they are creating a more family centered,
peaceful and less intimidating environment for both themselves and their baby.Birth
centers combine both skilled clinical care with a homelike environment. Birth
centers encourage full physical activity during labor, eating, drinking, use
of tub and shower, as well as full family participation as desired. Cesarean
section rates are much lower in birth centers as many studies have proven and
are usually attended by midwives. Birth centers can either be freestanding or
attached to a hospital. The Ventura Birth Center is freestanding and is one
block away from both our local hospitals.
