As you get ready to welcome your little one into the world, there’s
a lot to consider. From choosing a doctor or midwife to deciding how you
want to give birth, we’re ready to support and guide you along the
way. At Boulder Community Health, you’ll receive the highest-level
pregnancy care, along with many options tailored to your birthing preferences
and needs.
At BCH, you can decide to have either an obstetrician or certified nurse-midwife
care for you, starting at the moment you know you’re pregnant to
the instant you cradle baby in your arms. Finding the right fit will depend
on the type of birth experience you’ve dreamt about and your medical needs.
Obstetricians: Obstetricians-gynecologists, or OB-GYNs, are physicians who’ve
spent four years after medical school in a residency program becoming
experts in every stage of pregnancy and childbirth. Our welcoming and
experienced obstetricians work together to provide exceptional, comprehensive
obstetrics care for both routine and complicated pregnancies.
Certified Nurse-Midwives: As registered nurses who’ve earned their master's degrees in midwifery
and undergone special training, the certified nurse-midwives with
Foothills Community Midwives and
Boulder Medical Center in Boulder care for women with low-risk pregnancies and seeking a more natural birthing
experience. Our nurse-midwives are strong supporters of empowering moms-to-be
throughout their journey and bringing a nurturing, emotionally oriented
approach to natural childbirth.
Comprehensive Care for Moms-to-Be
A healthy pregnancy starts with quality maternity care. At BCH, you will
receive expert, comprehensive care and support — before, during
and after childbirth. Our obstetrician and midwife teams offer family
planning, preconception care, prenatal care, labor and delivery and postpartum care.
Low-Risk Pregnancy Care: Our experienced obstetricians and nurse-midwives will help guide you
through a low-risk pregnancy. You’ll see a dedicated care team for
many regular check-ups and diagnostic tests to track your health and your
baby’s growth through pregnancy.
High-Risk Pregnancy Care: Sometimes pregnancies require specialized prenatal care. BCH's obstetricians
have the expertise and experience needed for providing a higher level
of medical care during a high-risk pregnancy, as well as any interventions
needed to deliver babies as safely as possible.
Personalized Birth Plans
We want to help make your pregnancy and the birth of your child everything
you’ve dreamed. Our obstetricians and nurse-midwives will guide
through your options for childbirth — such as options for pain relief,
delivery methods, infant feeding, and newborn care — and help you
create a birth plan that supports your wishes for that special day.
Women who take steps to get healthy before pregnancy are less likely to
have babies that are born premature, have low birthweight or other disabling
conditions. Special care during the time leading up to your pregnancy
can also improve your chances of getting pregnant. Our obstetricians and
midwives can help you optimize your health prior to pregnancy, with the
goal of assisting you in getting pregnant and delivering a healthy baby.
