Celebrate your baby's birth in the home-like setting of Mercy Family Birthing Center (MFBC) under the experienced care of your own personal nurse and physician. MFBC offers a quiet, relaxing atmosphere that your whole family can enjoy. Members of your support team, including children, are welcome to be with you in your room or in the family area throughout your birthing experience.

Choose from four beautifully furnished birthing rooms, all equipped for your comfort and safety. You may use a Jacuzzi tub, birthing ball, music, massage, walking, or other labor coping tools as you desire. Your personal nurse will remain by your side throughout your stay to help you through labor, birth, and the early parenting experience. Baby will stay right with you while your nurse assists and teaches you about feeding and other mother-infant care. Hospital back-up at Mercy Medical Center is available just across the street in case of need.

You may stay at MFBC for up to eight hours after your baby is born. All the comforts of your own home will then be available to promote a restful recovery. You will still have access to your nurse's expertise by phone and you can reach her with your questions at any time.

When your baby is three days old your personal nurse will welcome you and baby back to the Birthing Center for a follow-up evaluation. She will assess the health of you and your baby and help you with any concerns or problems that have arisen. Your baby's PKU test and hearing screen can be done at this time.
