filled with questions as they prepare
for the transition to motherhood. Should I use
cloth diapers or disposable? Bottle- or breastfeed?
Crib or co-sleep?
When it comes to deciding where to have your
baby, there are lots of questions too. Where will I
be comfortable? Is the birthing center close to my
home, friends, and family? Will my baby receive
the best care?
Having a baby is one of life’s most extraordinary
experiences. Where your child is delivered should
also be extraordinary. The Family Birth Center
at PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center is happy
to help you find the answers you need for mom’s
peace of mind.
Q
Does the birthing center have
classes and support groups
during pregnancy and after birth?
A
The PeaceHealth St. John Family Birth
Center gives one-on-one training and guidance
in the care of the newborn and family. Community
wellness offerings are available through PeaceHealth’s

achieving ever-higher ratings in C-section and
episiotomy.

holistic birthing options?

Walking, position changes, and creative
support are encouraged during labor. The
