Morristown Medical Center Labor Room

Hospital Birth

Where the Midwives of New Jersey Attend Hospital Births

The Midwives of New Jersey are privileged to deliver babies in Morristown Medical Center. With that privilege comes the obligation to follow hospital policy and to work closely with hospital physicians and nurses when deciding the management of our clients’ labors. This adherence to routine is intended to provide the best possible care to many people at the same time.

Delivering a baby in the hospital gives a woman access to immediate emergency care like cesarean section and Neonatal resuscitation. There is more time to recover and bond with baby during an extended postpartum stay. Hospitals have more extensive options for pain management than the out of hospital choices. The care is good but less personalized, and the woman has less control of her care when hospitalized. She has an increased risk for intervention in the physiologic process of labor and birth even when it is not indicated. Even though it is less than the routine care, Midwifery care received in the hospital generally has more intervention than at home or in a birth center. Baby stays with parents throughout the hospital stay, care is given in the woman’s room. MMC has the Baby Friendly designation.

 

In Most Circumstances, Our Pregnant Clients Can:

  • Eat and drink in labor
  • Have minimal continuous fetal monitoring
  • Labor outside the confines of the hospital bed
  • Give birth in any position desired
  • Avoid routine IV access
  • Have delayed cord clamping
  • Labor and deliver in a pool of water

Although the Midwives of New Jersey offer many choices for childbirth, not all people can take advantage of them. Some women have more risk when giving birth and so New Jersey healthcare providers must care for them in a hospital. These risks include:

  1. Gestational diabetes controlled with Insulin
  2. Pre-eclampsia
  3. Chronic conditions that can impact the health of the mother or baby like High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Addictions, Seizure disorder, morbid obesity, tobacco use
  4. Multiple gestation
  5. History of surgical birth or uterine surgery
  6. Fetus will need immediate medical care at birth
  7. Breech position or Tranverse lie of fetus
