Giving birth at the Rosie Birth Centre

The Rosie Birth Centre is a small midwifery led unit providing one to
one midwifery care in a relaxed and friendly environment. The Rosie Birth
Centre offers women who are enjoying a health pregnancy and expecting
an uncomplicated birth the opportunity to let the natural process of childbirth take its course.

 

The centre is staffed by experience midwives who are available 24 hours a day providing one to one midwifery care. Maternity Care Assistants work alongside the midwives and are trained to assist you with your newborn.

 

Although there are midwives at the birth centre, your own community midwife may come and look after you during labour.

 

There are 3 low tech rooms with en-suite facilities. One room has a pool birth. We also have birthing balls, birthing stools, music, soft lighting and each room has a Bradbury birthing couch instead of a bed. We have four postnatal beds to enabling you to decide whether you wish to go home 2 hours after the birth of your baby or to stay up to 24 hours. The midwives provide postnatal care and breastfeeding support

 

We have a parent’s kitchen where snacks and drinks can be made.

 

We offer TENS, gas and air (entonox), pethidine and water for pain relief. Our midwives are experience working with women who have attended “Hypno-birthing" sessions or have seen complementary therapists for alternative pain-relief remedies.
