Where do patients have their babies?

Our patients give birth at Swedish First Hill Birth Center (see a video tour through this link) . The Birth Center offers patients supportive care in a comfortable environment—every room has a Jacuzzi tub, birthing ball, squatting bar, and music system.

What is a Certified Nurse Midwife?

A Neighborcare Health midwife (CNM) has gone through advanced training at a master’s or doctoral level to provide reproductive health care across a person’s lifespan, including pregnancy. They provide holistic care during pregnancy (prenatal), throughout the birth, and after your baby is born (newborn, postpartum, and routine well-person care).

We strive to reduce Cesarean-section rates (C-sections) and unneeded medical intervention. We also connect people with community resources and help them understand their health care options

Neighborcare CNMs also provide care outside of pregnancy and birth. You can see a midwife for well-person exams and Pap smears, medication for opioid used disorder ( MOUD ), contraception, fertility consultation, gender-affirming care, and other sexual or reproductive health care.

COMMENTS ON OUTCOMES

C-Section: The Swedish Hospital midwives do not perform cesarean births.  The cesarean rates reported above reflect the number of mothers who began labor in the care of the midwives and ended up having a c-section.   These rates are not risk-adjusted, and should not be directly compared to rates for Chicago-area hospitals. But if you qualify for care and begin your labor here, the likelihood that you will have a cesarean birth is very low.

VBAC: The VBAC rate reported above is the rate of successful VBACs for all women who had a prior c-section and who delivered at Swedish Hospital, including those who did not opt for or qualify for a trial of VBAC and those cared for by the Swedish Hospitaldoctors. For those women who opted for a trial of labor with the midwives, the VBAC success was 90% in 2018.

Exclusive breastfeeding rate:   The rate reported above is for all mothers delivering at Swedish Hospital who were breastfeeding exclusively when they left the hospital. For the midwives, the percentage of mothers who initiated breastfeeding during the first 24-48 hours was 83.4%.

Early elective induction and episiotomy rates : The rates reported above are for all births at Swedish Hospital, including those attended by both doctors and midwives.

Maternity Care Overview

“Whether you are a new mom, or have had children before, Swedish Hospital is dedicated to helping guide you through pregnancy and childbirth and caring for your newborn.”

Midwife-attended birth: “ We are proud to support a group practice of nurse-midwives, who work in conjunction with board-certified obstetricians, to provide you with personalized care and education. The Swedish Hospital Midwives [part of NorthShore] see patients in a group office and deliver babies in our state-of-the-art facility, the Family Birthing Center.”

“The midwife group prides itself on developing a partnership with you through a holistic approach to your health and open communication. By treating you as a partner in your health — whether that’s the birth of your child or routine women’s health care — nurse-midwives foster a supportive and empowering atmosphere. Our midwives practice with considerable autonomy, practicing the midwifery model of care. They empower women to be involved in their health care through education, communication and a strong relationship.”

“Our midwives are:

  • Specialists in women’s health, normal pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care.
  • Registered advanced practice nurses with specific training in obstetrics and gynecology.
  • Certified (accredited) by the American College of Nurse-midwives after passing a thorough board examination.
  • Educated professionals who work alongside physicians in a variety of settings, primarily hospitals and clinics.
  • Focused on informed consent regarding your health care and catering to your specific needs.”

Centering Pregnancy : “Our midwives offer the option of prenatal care through our Centering Pregnancy program, which brings together groups of women with similar due dates to discuss important topics, including current or expected discomforts, stress and anxiety, proper nutrition, labor and delivery and breastfeeding. Studies show Centering care increases patient and provider satisfaction, breastfeeding rates and duration of breastfeeding. The program exceeds the recommended standard of 10 prenatal visits by extending the sessions from an hour and a half to two hours in length.”

Family Birthing Center : “Our Family Birthing Center was designed to provide clinical expertise and leading-edge medical capabilities in a comfortable, private and home-like setting. During your stay, our expert, caring staff takes time to make sure your needs are met, and we are happy to answer your questions along the way.”

“We consider the whole family’s experience in our Birthing Center rooms. Each room has a jacuzzi, rocking chair and a pullout bed so your partner or another support person can stay with you throughout labor and while you recover. Centrally-located in the Birthing Center is a kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker for the use of birthing mothers and their support team.”

“A few hours after your baby is born, you will move to the Mother-Baby Unit. The Mother and Baby Unit provides a comfortable place for families to visit their newborn. Mother and baby can room together in a private, home-like setting with a pullout bed for dad or other support person. A dinette area and entertainment center includes a flat-screen TV, completing the comforts of home. Additionally, WiFi is available, allowing the new family to share the good news of the baby’s arrival.”

Pain management options:  “We recognize that every woman is different. We believe in empowering mothers during the birthing process by following their individual pain-management preferences.”

“We provide both traditional and alternative pain management techniques and resources. Every room in our birthing center has a jacuzzi, birthing stool and squatting bar to help you manage your pain.”

“Other pain management options include:

  • IV Sedation:  Sedatives may be used to help reduce stress and ease pain.
  • Epidural:  Our anesthesia team is available on-site 24/7 to offer an epidural if you choose.” ” 50% of patients receive an epidural to relieve pain without eliminating labor-related pressure to help you remain attentive.” “Most patients are able to deliver using an epidural with minimal pain while still being able to feel labor-related pressure, allowing them to remain active and attentive during delivery.”
  • Nitrous: Swedish Hospital is the only hospital within the Chicago city limits—and one of a growing number nationally—to offer nitrous oxide as an additional pain management tool for women in childbirth. Patients self-administer the medication by choosing how much gas to inhale, empowering each individual to safely and effectively manage the discomfort of labor and post-birth procedures while remaining alert and conscious.

Breastfeeding support : Specialized breastfeeding support can benefit all new mothers. Every mother and baby is different—while some mothers benefit from guidance immediately after birth, others may need assistance later. We strive to provide you with the resources you need to start on the right foot and continue successfully throughout motherhood.”

  • Inpatient Breastfeeding Assistance:  A board-certified lactation consultant sees every patient that gives birth at Swedish Hospital prior to discharge to assist in beginning to breastfeeding and to answer any questions new mothers may have on the topic. All nurses in the Mother Baby Unit are required to have breastfeeding training and are available for additional assistance, so there is expert breastfeeding support for all new mothers 24/7.
  • Breastfeeding Clinic:  Swedish Hospital’s Breastfeeding Clinic provides moms with access to internationally board-certified lactation consultants and nurse practitioners during hour-long visits. We welcome all moms, regardless of where they give birth and accept most forms of insurance, including Medicaid, with no out-of-pocket expense to the patient.

Skin-to-skin:  “The moments after giving birth will be a special time for you and your baby. We recommend two hours of uninterrupted bonding time between mommy, partner and baby immediately after birth. Instead of receiving visitors, we strongly encourage you to use this time for you and your baby to recover and benefit from skin-to-skin contact. This time also allows for important health assessments for you and your baby.”

Maternal Fetal Medicine Program: “ Women facing a high-risk pregnancy or who develop complications don’t have to travel far for comprehensive care from board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialists. The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Program at Swedish Hospital in Chicago offers advanced care for mothers and babies, from early pregnancy through birth and beyond.”

Neonatologists : “Board-certified neonatologists from Lurie Children’s round daily and are on call 24/7 in our inpatient unit and their pediatric hospitalists are always on site. They also attend high-risk deliveries and help manage babies with health issues.”

Patient ​Acceptance ​Guidelines

Risk guidelines for accepting patients.

The Swedish Hospital Midwives [part of NorthShore] care for women experiencing low-risk pregnancies. It is a practice policy to refer patients with “high-risk” pregnancies to Swedish Hospital’s dedicated team of board-certified obstetricians for their primary care during pregnancy.

One possible risk factor is pregnancy weight. Women who have a pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) greater than 45 are considered to be high-risk. According to a 2013 committee opinion published by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, women who are obese have a heightened risk of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, cesarean delivery, gestational diabetes and stillbirth delivery.

Risk guidelines for VBAC

Swedish Hospital offers the option of trial of VBAC to women who have had one previous cesarean birth.

TRANSFER OF CARE AND TRANSPORT

In general, care in the Swedish Hospital ICN is limited to newborn infants who are more than 32 weeks gestational age and weigh more than 1,500 grams at birth or who are recovering from serious illness treated in a Level III NICU. Newborns who are seriously ill may be transferred to a facility with a Level III NICU.

Learn more and find a provider

Every year, more babies are born at Swedish than at any other health system in western Washington. In fact, helping you have your baby your way is one reason so many families choose Swedish.

Swedish has three birth centers —  First Hill ,  Issaquah  and  Edmonds  — making it convenient for people who live or work in the Seattle, Eastside and North End areas. But don’t just  choose your birth center  based on location. It’s also important to consider factors like the size of your birth center. Do you want a smaller, more boutique-like feel, for example, or a bustling city hospital with every possible resource available? Or maybe something in between?

All of our Swedish patients can take classes, meet other families, get help with lactation and go for new parents and well-baby checkups at  The Lytle Center for Pregnancy & Newborns  at our First Hill birth center. You can also get expert advice there and help with wellness.

To learn more about our childbirth and parenting classes — both in-person and online — visit our  Childbirth and Parenting Classes at Swedish Medical Center page . To take a take a virtual tour of our birth centers, visit our  Birth Center Tours page . If you need to find a provider, use our  provider directory .

Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

For babies who need extra care and monitoring after birth, our hospital also features an advanced Level III NICU. Here we offer a family-style design, providing each patient with a private room with an individualized, womb-like environment.

  • Cord blood and stem cell banking — We can help you with donating cord blood or banking stem cells. Speak to your OBGYN and medical team to make these arrangements.

If you choose to breastfeed your baby, you will have access to breastfeeding support while in the mom/baby unit. We also host a breastfeeding support group for new moms and babies eight weeks old and younger.

In this group setting, moms have the opportunity to meet with a lactation consultant, receive reassurance and ask questions. Please attempt to bring your infant ready for a feeding.

New Baby Breastfeeding Support Group Every Wednesday from 10:00am to 11:00am Second Floor Conference Center at Swedish Medical Center

There is no cost to attend, but we ask only mom and baby attend (and make a reservation) due to limited space.

In case of inclement weather, please call the lactation line at (303) 788-7842 for updates concerning the breastfeeding support group. You will be contacted directly for parent education classes and tours.

What is the difference between delivering a baby in a traditional hospital setting and delivering in a Birthing Center?

Can i go through labor and delivery in the same room, how many support people, such as doulas, friends, partners or family members are allowed to be with me in the labor and birthing room, how does the birthing center help women manage pain during labor what if i don’t want any drugs during my labor, how many women in labor does each nurse typically care for, what kind of breastfeeding education and support is available to new moms, do you have any mandatory tests or procedures for newborns, does the hospital accept cord blood donations or arrange for them to be given to a public cord blood bank.

About BirthPlace

Welcome to the Pullman Regional Hospital BirthPlace! Our goal is to make your birthing experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. It is important that you feel informed and supported in all of your birthing decisions, and that you know you can count on us for follow up care long after you are discharged. We will always be here to answer your questions and provide you with accurate, reliable information.

When you begin your new family at our BirthPlace, you become a part of our family too.

Our Birthing Suites

Our goal is to keep mom, baby and guests as comfortable as possible during this exciting time. Your birthing suite will do just that. All of our suites are equipped with whirlpool tubs and showers for use before and after your baby is born, along with baby bathing sinks so your family can participate in baby's first bath. Rooms also have microwaves and refrigerators, TV's, a table and chairs, a desk, free WiFi, and a comfortable couch that makes into a bed for your partner. For a more home-like feeling, all of our emergency equipment is hidden behind closed doors.

  • A complimentary Halo sleep sack to take home
  • Board Certified Lactation Consultants and specially-trained nurses to help you achieve breastfeeding goals
  • We offer pasteurized donor milk as an option for breastfeeding supplementation

Financial Planning

Here’s a breakdown of the typical cost of having your baby. Please note these estimates do not include charges for labor induction or complications. Obstetrical estimates are effective July 2023. Please contact your obstetric provider for questions about their fees. 

$4,809 (Mom) + $1,805 (Baby) = $6,614

Some insurance plans cover part or all of the charges of a circumcision and others do not pay anything for circumcisions. In that case, you would be responsible for the hospital charge and whatever your baby's doctor charges to perform the procedure. Be sure to contact your insurance company prior to giving birth to be sure.

Sleep, Exercise, & Nutrition During Pregnancy

As your pregnancy progresses, you may find it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Here are some ways to get better sleep during your pregnancy, and don't forget to read 5 Tips to Catch More Zzz's During Pregnancy.

  • Relax and unwind before bed
  • Stay hydrated during the day
  • Put your phone away 
  • Get plenty of exercise during the day
  • Establish a consistent evening routine

The first trimester of your pregnancy is a good time to start an exercise plan if you don't already have one. Exercising regularly helps reduce your risk of problems that may arise later in pregnancy, along with additional benefits like boosting your mood, improving sleep, and gaining strength to combat back pain during labor and delivery. Check out some easy, low-cost exercise options you can do at home.

There are certain foods you should avoid during pregnancy, foods you should try to consume for often, and often times foods you don't normally enjoy that you suddenly crave. It is important to eat a well-balanced diet with a variety of foods from all five food groups, including fruit, vegetables, protein, grains, and dairy, as these foods provide key nutrients of concern for expecting mothers. Here are three easy healthy recipes that are safe for pregnancy.

Additionally, you will need to avoid certain foods that are more susceptible to food-borne illnesses when you become pregnant, including certain seafood, raw eggs, soft cheeses, raw meat, and deli meats. More information on this can be found in this blog post about things to avoid when pregnant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! You may watch our online tour here , or schedule an in-person tour by calling (509) 336-7401.

We generally encourage moms to come to the hospital when they're having painful contractions every five minutes, each lasting about 60 seconds. If you're able to easily ignore your contractions and you can walk and talk normally throughout them, it's probably not time to come yet. There are some exceptions, though. If you are group B strep positive, you need to talk to your doctor about when he or she wants you to come to the hospital.

We also want you to come in immediately if:

  • Contractions start but you’re planning on having a C-Section
  • Your water breaks
  • You have bright red vaginal bleeding (as opposed to mucousy pink or brown vaginal discharge or “show”)
  • You were more than 3 centimeters dilated at your last doctor visit and are having contractions
  • You have a history or having very fast labors
  • Your baby isn’t moving as much as usual

When you arrive at BirthPlace, we provide everything you and your baby need until it’s time to go home. All you really need to bring are a going home outfit for you and your baby, along with a car seat and blanket to cover baby with. We encourage you to bring any items that will make your stay more comfortable and add to the cozy, home-like atmosphere of your desire. For more information on what to pack in your hospital bag, read 5 Items Every New Parent Should Pack in your Hospital Bag.

Patients can order their meals from the Red Sage Café , as well as one primary support person (3 meals per day) at no additional charge.  You are welcome to bring food with you or have friends bring food to you. You're also welcome to order food from outside the hospital to be delivered to your room

You are welcome to record your hospital stay via photos, video, or audio recordings whenever there is not a medical procedure or care occurring. To avoid interruptions and to allow everyone's focus to be on the patient, we will request you to turn off cameras and recording equipment during your baby's birth. To share your announcement with your family and friends, we will take a photo of your baby and also one of your family if you choose and post it on our hospital website and provide a link for your friends and family to see.

Yes! At the BirthPlace, we strive to help families achieve their breastfeeding goals. Our lactation consultants are available to help get breastfeeding off to a great start and support your needs after discharge. If you are experiencing any difficulties breastfeeding, you can schedule a lactation appointment by calling (509) 336-7401. Click here to learn more about breastfeeding.

BirthPlace Testimonials

"It's worth the drive for us from Lewiston. The facility is so nice and we like that labor, delivery, and recovery all happen in one room." Brittany Babino Lewiston
"Everyone I met was so friendly and caring. The pharmacist and anesthesiologist came in to check on me and the nurse helped me go through all my paperwork before I was discharged, which was really helpful. I felt very cared for." Erin Jessup Pullman
"No ball ever got dropped. They are all so wonderful and helpful. Having a new baby is not the easiest thing, but with the BirthPlace, it doesn't have to be harder." Kimberly Lackey Pullman
"The staff and anesthesiologists took the time to explain everything to us. We were really well prepared and everyone was so nice, from the kitchen staff to housekeeping. They helped make us so comfortable and our nurses are just exceptional!" Carey Bandaranayaka Pullman
