Orientation is more than a tour.
At our orientation session, we review the midwifery model of care as well as community birth care. These include reasons for hospital transfer, common complications that may occur during birth and how they are handled in the birth center, and the schedule of prenatal care and postpartum care. You’ll have an opportunity to meet one of our nurses, Ashley Fino.
We welcome everyone.
Orientation is required for new birth center clients. You may sign up for your orientation prior to or after initiating care, depending on the timing of your new client appointment. You may complete your orientation even if you are just thinking about pregnancy.
All members of your birth support team who will be present for your labor & birth at the Coit House are required to attend an orientation session, although they do not necessarily need to attend the same orientation session that you attend. Anyone who is wondering about the benefits of community birth may attend. We also welcome doulas, nurses, and any interested member of the community.
