Labor and Delivery Care

Our midwives and birth assistants will be with you every step of the way during your labor and birth. offering support, reassurance, and guidance as you move through labor. We trust the natural process of birth and encourage you to follow your body’s cues while we help you find the comfort measures that work best for you.

We encourage clients to labor at home in early labor and come to the center once active labor has begun. When you arrive, you’ll settle into one of our three private birth suites, designed to feel calm and home-like.

Water birth is a popular option at NorthPointe Birth Center. Each birth suite has a deep tub that can be used for hydrotherapy. Many people find that being in the tub helps ease pain and promotes relaxation during labor.

We’ll work with you to find what helps you cope best. Some of the tools we offer include:

• Hydrotherapy

• Birth swings, Swedish barres, birthing balls, and stools

• Nitrous oxide and TENS units for pain relief

You’re free to move, eat, and have your support team involved throughout your labor. We use a handheld Doppler to check in on your baby.

Doulas are always welcome and encouraged at our center.
