A: Our experienced team will ensure that when you leave for home from our
Family Birth Center, you have everything you’ll need to easily get your newborn's birth
certificate and Social Security number. If you give birth at
The Birth Center of Boulder, at the 1-2 week postpartum visit a midwife will file birth certificate
paperwork.
Q: Do you rent breast pumps?
A: We offer short- and long-term rentals of Medela breast pumps and sell
helpful items that support breastfeeding. For more information, please call
303-415-7230.
Q: What happens to my pelvic floor after childbirth?
A: Vaginal deliveries can cause damage to key muscles, which can result in
some women experiencing urinary leakage, pelvic pain, healing following
a tear, vaginal bulge or bowel problems (constipation or leakage). Our
team of pelvic floor physical therapists have specialized training in
pelvic floor rehabilitation and are available to consult with new moms
on an outpatient basis for what the American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists (ACG) recognizes as the fourth trimester—the 12
weeks after giving birth. For more information, please call
303-415-4400.

Our Family Birth Center at Foothills Hospital is a drop-off location for
donor breast milk for
Mothers’ Milk Bank (MMB) – a program of Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation.
MMB is a distributor of donor human milk to medically fragile babies in
neonatal intensive care units (NICU) across the nation. MMB safely screens,
collects, processes and dispenses donated human milk as a community service,
providing human milk to babies whose own mothers cannot supply the milk
to meet their baby’s needs.
The Family Birth Center at Foothills Hospital is also a “depot”
for BCH families looking to order or buy milk for their newborn upon discharge
from either the Family Birth Center at Foothills Hospital or The Birth
Center of Boulder.
