Partnering Expecting Mothers with Nurses
This program is intended for women in their 20th week of pregnancy.
Every mom who chooses to deliver her baby at The Family Birth Center may participate in our unique program, which partners one of our highly skilled and trained nurses with a mom for the duration of her pregnancy. By maintaining a relationship with a nurse from early pregnancy through delivery, parents and family members can design the birth experience that best meets their wishes and needs. Through regular conversations, tours and visits, your nurse will provide you with advice, options and answers to all those normal questions and concerns that arise during pregnancy.
Your Great Expectations Nurse. Your nurse is experienced, highly trained, and compassionate. Your nurse will guide you through every stage of pregnancy to comfort you and answer any questions you may have throughout the trimesters.
