Expert, personalized care throughout pregnancy and childbirth
Do you have a baby on board? Congrats! From your first prenatal care visit,
through labor, delivery and postpartum, Boulder Community Health is here
to support your journey. With an experienced team always at your side,
you’ll receive the highest-level pregnancy care, along with many
options tailored to your birthing preferences and needs.
Obstetrician or midwife — The choice is yours
We recognize your expectations are unique and that the pregnancy and delivery
team must be the right fit for you. That’s why 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.
Obstetricians: Our
obstetricians-gynecologists, or OB-GYNs, offer a more traditional path to delivering your baby. Some
parents-to-be are more comfortable going through pregnancy and childbirth
with a highly trained physician who has completed four years of medical
school followed by a four-year residency program, making an obstetric
path the right fit. Also, patients experiencing a high-risk pregnancy
have the benefit of being cared for by specially trained physicians.
Certified Nurse-Midwives: As registered nurses who’ve earned their master's degrees in midwifery
and undergone special training, our
certified nurse-midwives care for patients with low-to-moderate risk pregnancies and are seeking
a more natural birthing experience. Nurse-midwives are strong supporters
of empowering maternity patients throughout their journey and bringing
a nurturing, emotionally oriented approach to natural childbirth.
Recognized as a best place to have a baby: Our Family Birth Center
All of our maternity patients give birth at the
Family Birth Center at Foothills Hospital in Boulder. Recognized for top-quality care with
several awards and designations, our welcoming and experienced obstetricians,
midwives and nurses at the Family Birth Center work together to give you
the happiest, healthiest birth experience possible — and your baby
the best start in life:
Integrative therapies during labor: aromatherapy, self-pay acupuncture
Baby-Friendly certification
Boulder County’s first-of-its-kind, family friendly
Special Care Nursery (neonatal intensive care unit)
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.
