Birthing Center

A birthing center is a healthcare facility designed for childbirth outside of a traditional hospital setting. It typically offers a more home-like environment, focusing on natural birth experiences with personalized care. Birthing centers are staffed by healthcare professionals, such as midwives and nurses, who support the mother throughout labor and delivery. They provide amenities like comfortable rooms and natural pain relief options. While they cater to low-risk pregnancies, they have protocols to transfer patients to hospitals if complications arise. Overall, birthing centers aim to create a supportive, family-centered atmosphere for childbirth.
