The BirthPlace

Overview

Welcome to The Birth Place at St. Croix Regional Medical Center.

We've designed this special section of our website to make it convenient for you to learn about our quality obstetric services--our providers, our nurses and you'll see quickly that our birthing center is among the busiest in the region with over 300 births per year.  SCRMC offers a family-centered birth experience, organized around the "LDRP" concept:  labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum--all in one, home-like setting.  An Ob/Gyn, a nurse midwife and nine physicians provide delivery coverage and four physicians are available for C-sections if needed. 

Special testing is available that includes ultrasound, stress and non-stress tests and amniocentesis.  Other services include prenatal and expectant parent classes, choice of birthing styles and alternative birthing options, support persons present at delivery, infant and family care education, rooming-in, a special meal, liberal visiting policies, a breast-feeding support group and a lactation specialist.  Our experienced staff can help you personalize your birth experience. 

The newborn nursery within the Birthing Center offers care similar to that of a Level II nursery.  The advanced training of nursing and providers allows the nursery to accept newborns as a transitional step to returning home if required.  On staff for consultation is a full-time, inhouse pediatrician/internist, Dr. James Wallace, as well as a neonatologist and a perinatologist.
