Having a baby is a very personal experience - one that you have dreamed about, given careful thought to, and planned for months. Provena Mercy Center provides a variety of birthing and comfort options, allowing you to choose the kind of birth experience you want. Flexibility is a trait our patients and families tell us they appreciate. If you have designed your own birth plan, we do our best to follow it. If you want several members of your family present at birth, or to help with baby's first bath or feeding, we will accommodate you.
Labor can be a long journey.
We work closely with your physician or certified nurse-midwife, encouraging you to walk, rock, take warm showers, relax in your own private whirlpool tub, or do whatever makes you more comfortable. Your options for pain control include epidural anesthesia, available 24 hours a day. At Provena Mercy Center, we strive to make your birthing experience a comfortable, safe and memorable one during which your wishes are honored and your expectations exceeded. The latest medical technology and a staff of highly trained professionals back our philosophy of personal care in a family setting. Your obstetrician, pediatrician, family physician, and certified nurse-midwife are members of Provena Mercy Center's health care team, and can serve all of your needs.
