Giving birth is a beautiful, natural process that women have been navigating for thousands of years. Although women have been laboring and delivering babies on their own for generations, surrounding yourself with compassionate, experienced medical staff and a comfortable, well-equipped facility can bring additional comfort and peace of mind. If you’re looking for the right hospital for your birth experience, Griffin Hospital’s Labor and Delivery unit, The Childbirth Center, is a wonderful option.

About Griffin Hospital Labor and Delivery

One of the biggest things that sets Griffin Hospital apart is its commitment to the Planetree philosophy. Planetree puts patients at the center of care, leading every assessment treatment with compassion first and foremost. They will help you find the care plan that works best for you as an individual, taking your feelings and your family’s needs into consideration from the start.

The Childbirth Center at Griffin Hospital runs on the same principles; as a birthing patient, your care, goals, and well-being are at the forefront of your entire experience. They have created a warm, inviting atmosphere maintained by attentive, skilled caregivers. Your physicians and nurses will get to know you as an individual and a family, ensuring a birthing experience that is as comfortable and compassionate as possible.

Services

The Childbirth Center is a beautiful facility designed to make your birth experience and recovery as comfortable and welcoming as possible. Their rooms are private and family-friendly, with cozy décor that hides intimidating medical technology. Every room features a private bathroom with a shower, a glider rocking chair, a TV, and Wi-Fi. Some of their rooms feature a double bed to accommodate overnight stays with your partner, and every room is equipped so your new baby can stay in your room with you.

Nearby, the Family Room is a great place for visitors to gather if you need privacy in your room. With reading materials, toys, and a TV, it’s a comfortable place for them to relax. Throughout your labor, you can have up to two support people in the room with you. Then, once you’ve moved to your postpartum room, all visitors are welcome until quiet hours begin at 8 PM.

Regarding your labor and delivery, the team at Griffin Hospital will do their best to accommodate your birth goals and wishes. Their priority, of course, is a healthy and happy baby and mama. They have plenty of tools to help you through labor, including birthing and peanut balls, jacuzzi tubs, and various medications like nitrous oxide and epidurals.

Specialty

While the Childbirth Center at Griffin Hospital has a fantastic staff and all the tools and amenities you need for a comfortable, safe birth experience, they can also help you prepare ahead of time. They offer a variety of childbirth education courses to help you learn about labor and delivery, newborn care, and postpartum recovery. There are also Breastfeeding Support and Pregnancy and Postpartum Rehabilitation groups. These groups allow you to get hands-on help while building a community of new parents in a similar phase of life.

Additionally, the Childbirth Center is home to several certified car seat technicians from the Valley Parish Nurse Program who can help you properly and safely install your infant car seat for free!
