Vaginal births

If you plan to have a vaginal birth, there are a variety of childbirth options available, so be sure to talk to your health care provider to decide what is right for you. 

Doula births

A doula is specially trained to guide you through labor with relaxation and breathing exercises, massage, words of encouragement and other comforting measures. A doula can also work with your spouse or support person to encourage involvement and to create a warm and positive experience.

Water births

A water birth is the process of giving birth while immersed in a tub of water. Water birth is available to women who meet certain criteria and sign consent forms that are provided to health care providers and midwives.

Caesarean births (C-section)

Cesarean birth (C-section) may be planned in advance or recommended as an emergency procedure if your health care provider determines that the health of you or your baby is at risk.
