The Nurse-Midwives
attend births in the Nurse-Midwife Unit across the hallway from the Labor
and Delivery unit where physicians deliver babies. Our patients stay in
the same room for labor, birth, and their postpartum stay.
The Labor and
Delivery staff (Perinatologists, Obstetricians, Family Practice Physicians and Nurses) help
patients with both routine and complicated pregnancies. They invite
family-attended births; and doulas are available to provide labor
support to any mom who desires it (the hospital pays for their own staff doulas, and we make every effort to meet the
special needs of our diverse community.
Interpreters
are available to our patients. Our cesarean section rate is one of the
lowest in the metropolitan area. Each year, more than 2,600 babies are
born at HCMC!

The Birth Center at Regions is an in-hospital labor and delivery area with physicians and nurse-midwives.
Hello,
Over lunch hour today I walked over to Regions Hospital and
asked the charge nurse about
their new water birth option. She said the midwife practices with
privileges at
Regions (Health Partners and the Family Practice CNMs from Open Cities
and West Side) have been certified and are now starting to do
water births. She said that the hospital is seeing this as a trial or
pilot
(thus the inflatable, portable tub pictured here) to gauge demand before
spending the money to install a permanent tub. This all just started in
Aug. 2010 so is very new to them still. They have
restrictions (just like at other hospitals) that the CNMs go over with patients
in clinic. I told the charge nurse
about the Childbirth Collective
and the list we maintain regarding hospital birthing options. ...She said she’d see if
their marketing people could send us some material to help educate parents about this birthing option.
Cheers, Kathy Chinn

"As a mother who gave birth at St. Joe's and a former doula who has practiced in a variety of metro hospitals, I can say confidently that of all the hospitals in the Twin Cities, St. Joseph's comes the closest to realizing the ideal of family-centered, woman-centered, evidence-based care. (I happen to be a labor and delivery nurse at St. Joe's now.) St. Joe's is achieving a reasonable cesarean rate (9.9% in November 2008, the most recent month for which numbers are available). We are also one of the few hospitals locally to allow women to choose waterbirth, and we have a policy that allows women in spontaneous labor to be monitored intermittently rather than with continuous EFM. We welcome doulas, and we are proud that our nurses use labor support techniques to decrease the need for analgesic pain relief and epidural anesthesia. All our nurses are trained to assist and encourage moms to breastfeed, we routinely place newly born infants skin-to-skin with mothers immediately after delivery, and we strive to have the majority of moms put their babies to breast within the first hour after birth." -- Molly Brom, RN
To see talk about St. Joes' unavailability to support VBAC moms (VBAC means vaginal birth after a cesarean for a previous child's birth) look at the article on VBAC in MN.

The Birth Center offers private LDRP
(labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum) suites, a fully equipped Cesarean
birthing suite, a water birth option, a Level II nursery, and
child-friendly visiting areas offering a comfortable setting for
families and friends. Physicians and Nurse-Midwives.
Woodwinds Health Campus,
1925 Woodwinds Dr., Woodbury, MN 55125
651-232-0022
Woodwinds offers a family-centered model of care. This means you stay in one private room throughout labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (unless you had a waterbirth or Cesarean section).
Spending time with your newborn in the hospital will help you get to
know your baby and learn to care for his or her needs. Research has
shown that an infant’s attachment instinct is highest in the first few
days of life. For that reason, we don’t have a traditional nursery.
Instead, you are encouraged to
keep your baby with you in your room.
At Woodwinds, you can:
- Receive care from a doctor or a certified nurse-midwife
- Get labor and birth support from a doula
-
Choose between options to help you through labor, such as the birthing
ball, birthing stool, walking, position changes and creating a calm
room environment.
- Take advantage of healing music, essential oils, guided imagery, healing touch, massage, hypnobirthing and hydrotherapy.
- Choose medications for labor pain, including epidural.
- Decide upon delivery options, including waterbirth
- Attend an in-hospital breastfeeding class
University of Minnesota Medical Center
UMMC is now
a “baby friendly” hospital:
Skin to
skin contact immediately after the birth can be expected at UMMC and hopefully soon at other sites
(Ridges, Southdale)…Families can always ask for skin to skin if mom and
baby have no medical contra indication no matter where they are. (ie: in the OR after
C-sec)!!
Good news!!
