Birth centers are an option for expectant mothers. They provide complete maternity service, including prenatal care and childbirth preparation classes for families experiencing a normal pregnancy and anticipating a normal birth without complications. Women give birth in a room designed to look like a master bedroom. Each room in the center is equipped with medical devices for use in case of an emergency. Teams of nurse-midwives, obstetricians, pediatricians, parent educators, and other supporting staff provide the care needed. Most centers have arrangements with local hospitals to immediately transport the mother and baby if unexpected problems arise.
