Pain management
Some women want a medication-free delivery. Others choose to explore pain management options. At the Westfields Hospital Birth Center, what’s important to you is important to us.

Caring for newborns (and new parents, too)
The first few hours and days after the birth of your child are important for your healing, your baby’s health and your bond as a family. We want to help you feel confident in your new role as a parent. We’ll help you learn to care for yourself and your new baby as you get ready to go home. We also offer after-care services to give you continued support as you’re healing and adjusting to life at home with baby. We welcome our patients to call the birth center at
Nursery
Our birth center has a nursery for newborns who need a little extra care. We encourage parents to bond with their babies by staying together in the same room, but the nursery is also available when parents need some time to rest. It’s staffed 24 hours a day by our experienced nurses who provide tender care and continuous, high-tech monitoring if needed.
Breastfeeding support
Research shows that breastfeeding has many benefits for both baby and mom. Nursing is natural, but it doesn’t always come naturally. It’s our goal to make sure you’re ready to breastfeed before you leave the birth center, and that you have continuing support as you adjust to life at home.
For breastfeeding support or more information, you can call our board-certified lactation consultants 24/7 at
