We would love to be a part of your birth team!
Our prenatal care usually starts around 10 weeks. Our first visit includes confirmation of pregnancy, a review of your history, a complete physical exam, and time to answer any questions you may have. We can modify your prenatal care to work with your situation. Our prenatal visits are done at the West Wing in a home-like setting.
Birthing Center
We offer safe, comfortable birth options. Births usually take place at the family birthing center at South Peninsula Hospital. We offer three large, private, labor, and delivery suites with a separate tub room. We help women with natural (non-medicated) births as well as offering epidurals, and pain medication and we enjoy helping women with vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) trial. We have really excellent outcomes for VBAC. We always have an OBGYN available if a high-risk situation develops. Safety is always our primary goal! If a cesarean section is necessary, we stay with you throughout that experience. We have very low Cesarean section rates.
Birthing Tub
We have a beautiful, large tub available for labor and low-risk births. After delivery, we encourage you to keep your baby with you in the room and the Nurse Midwives and the OB nurses help to provide support and education as much or as little as you need. We offer an optional home visit after delivery if desired.
The West Wing Clinic offers care for babies up to 6 weeks, then baby care can be continued with Julie McCarron up to 3 years old.
We happily offer delivery options for women who come from other places in Alaska. Call us for details.
We have regular series of Childbirth classes in a supportive group classroom setting.
Topics include the Third trimester, anatomy, labor and birth, breathing and relaxation exercises, and other pain relief options. Complications of labor and birth. We include a tour of the SPH family birth center. We cover newborn care and breastfeeding. Check our Facebook page or call for information on the next classes.
