There are many ways to give birth, each one being valid. At Fairview Range, we’re here to support expectant mothers through their desired birthing experience.
For many, this means opting for a low-intervention birth—a choice that prioritizes minimal medical intervention and embraces natural childbirth methods. Whether you’re planning a natural birth or want to explore your options, our comprehensive facility and team ensure you are supported every step of the way.
Supporting Natural Childbirth: Tools and Techniques
We offer a variety of resources and tools to assist mothers who prefer a low-intervention birth. If you have a low-risk pregnancy, you have the option of using a Doppler for intermittent fetal monitoring, which gives greater freedom of movement. For those who need continuous monitoring due to higher-risk pregnancies, our Bluetooth fetal monitoring capabilities provide mobility and comfort without compromising safety.
We believe in the power of comfort and natural pain relief during labor. Our state-of-the-art birthing suites are equipped with whirlpool tubs, which effectively reduce pain and promote relaxation. Additionally, we offer a range of low-intervention tools, including massage tools, distraction techniques, and aromatherapy, all designed to create a calming environment during labor.
Our experienced nursing staff is highly trained in low-intervention birth support, ensuring you have the guidance and encouragement you need. We provide birthing balls, peanut balls, and squat bars to aid in positioning, which can make a significant difference in your comfort and the progress of labor. Our adjustable birthing beds and birthing stools are also available to help you find the positions that work best for you throughout the various stages of labor.
The Benefits of Low-Intervention Birth
Choosing a low-intervention birth comes with numerous benefits. By minimizing medical interventions, many mothers find they experience a greater sense of control and empowerment during the birth process. Natural childbirth often leads to shorter recovery times and reduces the likelihood of needing additional interventions, such as C-sections.
With the support of our skilled team and the use of natural pain management techniques, many mothers find that a low-intervention birth can be a deeply satisfying and rewarding experience.
Options for Pain Relief
While we support natural childbirth, we also understand that every labor is different, and pain relief options are available for those who choose them. At Fairview Range, we offer nitrous oxide, IV pain medications, and access to intrathecal or epidural pain relief for mothers who prefer or require additional pain management.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can make informed choices about your birthing experience. Whether you prefer a natural birth or need pain relief options, we’re dedicated to ensuring that you and your baby receive the best care possible.
Your Birth, Your Choice
At Fairview Range, we believe that every mother deserves the birth experience they envision. Our low-intervention birth options are designed to support you in making the choices that are right for you and your baby. With a variety of tools, techniques, and expert support, we’re here to help you achieve the natural childbirth experience you desire.
