      <image:title>Blog - The Ease Of Necessary Transfers - “Although transferring was never my first choice, it definitely was what needed to happen during my birth. My midwife, Jen, was absolutely amazing and made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible by calling ahead to make sure that there was room for me, sending over all my paperwork so they would be prepared, and coming with us to the hospital and making sure we were settled in and the epidural had hit before she left. After the birth, the hospital staff were all very understanding, and in some cases supportive, of our choice to use the Birthing Center for our post-partum care and made sure to send all records and important information. The hospital pediatrician had concerns about my baby's Bilirubin levels but was flexible enough to send the results from the next day's blood test to Jen so she could keep an eye on the situation during our post-partum journey. Throughout the whole thing, everyone was extremely supportive and mindful of the fact that I was struggling with the change of birthing plans, which made a world of difference to my outlook on the whole experience. I absolutely loved having Jen as our midwife during the process and can't imagine trying to go through the birthing journey without the support of the staff at Columbia Birth Center.”</image:title>

      <image:title>About - Birthing Experience You Deserve - Why would you want to give birth in a birth center instead of a hospital?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The birth center is: Small, intimate, calm, and home-like Warm and supportive, welcoming of your family and friends Attended by people you know (your midwife and support people you choose) Free from routine or unnecessary procedures that carry some risks for healthy women Safe, clean, and prepared for the most common birth complications Less expensive - especially important for those whose insurance requires co-pays A place where birth is celebrated as a major life transition rather than a medical event At Columbia Birth Center, we begin seeing clients before the standard 10-12 weeks of pregnancy. As soon as a positive pregnancy test has been confirmed, we are here to set up your first visit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Birthing Experience You Deserve - Why a Midwife?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Midwives are experts in normal birth and pregnancy, are trained to recognize variations from the normal, and can treat such problems or refer the woman to other specialists as needed. Midwives offer: Personalized care and longer appointments Evidence-informed care from midwives who are up to date on the latest medical and midwifery research Shared decision-making as you work together with your midwives to make decisions about your care The same small group of midwives care for mother and baby throughout pregnancy, labor, and post-partum Appropriate use of technologies</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Birthing Experience You Deserve - Is it safe?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Numerous studies show that birth in a birth center is as safe or safer than at a hospital if: The client has had a healthy pregnancy The client is cared for by a midwife or doctor who is skilled and experienced in community birth There are hospital facilities close by which welcome clients who transfer to a hospital because they need a medical procedure Columbia Birth Center has strict safety policies and all of the emergency equipment and medications required for licensure by the State Department of Health. It is also nationally accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers. These ensure the highest standard of care for women and babies.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Now that you’re pregnant, you’re probably considering how you want to give birth to your baby. Once you start telling people you’re pregnant, you’re met with a lot of advice and warnings. How do you sort through all of the birthing options and advice? More importantly, how do you begin to make birthing decisions that are best for you and your baby?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services -lp-fb - YOUR FIRST BIRTH CENTER VISIT What To Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>We want you to relax and enjoy your time with us. Your first appointment will take about an hour, so be sure to allow plenty of time. Prior to the appointment, you’ll receive forms that you will need to fill out via our secure client portal. Complete the forms before you arrive so you can spend maximum time engaging with your midwife. You’ll also receive a link to AdvancedMD, your secure online medical chart. Take the time to set up your personal account and complete your medical history before your appointment. When you arrive, you’ll meet one of our midwives. Together, you’ll review your current health status and medical history from AdvancedMD. The midwife will also guide you through the lab procedures and discuss the best nutrition choices for pregnancy. Your midwife will assess your health status and perform a complete physical exam. If you’re far enough along, you may even get to hear your baby’s heartbeat! Finally, you’ll have your blood drawn for an “OB Panel” collection.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Columbia Birth Center clients and their partners who have not previously delivered at CBC are required to attend a one-day childbirth preparation class by 36 weeks. Childbirth at Columbia Birth Center is different in many ways from hospital birth; this class is designed to ensure that parents understand those differences. This class includes information on breastfeeding basics and postpartum planning. In addition, we can recommend additional series that meet weekly, usually for five weeks, whose content reflects our philosophy.  There are also some excellent shorter courses to address specific topics, such as pain control.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Lactation - Breastfeeding Support</image:title>
      <image:caption>Breastfeeding is hard work! It doesn’t always start out easy. Knowledge and support are the keys to meeting your breastfeeding goals. We offer prenatal breastfeeding education in prenatal visits and through in-person classes. All of our clients have access to lactation support. Each of our midwives is trained in lactation and there is an IBCLC available for more challenging situations. Click on the “Classes” tab above to see the schedule for upcoming education opportunities at Columbia Birth Center.</image:caption>
