The Birthplace staff has helped women deliver tens of thousands of babies, but we still view every birth as unique. We work closely with you and your healthcare provider to support the choices you make in your birth plan, to ensure your experience is exceptional.
We’ve designed modern, private and secure birthing and postpartum rooms. They come equipped with the latest technology, assuring the best for you and your baby. Rooms also include free Wi-Fi so you can immediately announce your happy news.
The Birthplace offers additional amenities for new moms and their babies including certified nurse lactation consultants for breastfeeding assistance and support, a variety of birthing aids, water births, photography, convenient access to Fairview Pharmacies and more.
We’re pleased to now offer our patients the choice of certified nurse midwives for labor and delivery from Fairview – Paul Larson Clinic. You can also meet the Fairview midwives, learn about their services and view patient stories.
After your baby’s birth, our experienced baby specialists will help you learn how to care for your baby. You’ll learn important tips that are fascinating and even sometimes fun. Certified, caring lactation consultants are on hand to assist and support you for successful breastfeeding.
