Labor and Delivery Support at The Women’s Center of Athens

Labor and delivery are important moments for you and your baby. We provide care that supports your choices, respects your birthing plan, and offers comfort through personalized pain management options.

At WCA

Our board-certified OB-GYNs work with you to make delivery as safe and smooth as possible. We offer guidance, monitor your baby, and respond quickly to complications if needed.

Services to Support Your Labor and Delivery

We offer comprehensive care during labor and delivery to keep you and your baby safe and comfortable. Our services include:

  • Pain Management Options:

    Choose from epidurals, natural methods like breathing techniques, or other approaches that align with your preferences.

  • Continuous Monitoring:

    We track your baby’s heart rate and your progress throughout labor to respond to any changes quickly.

  • Emergency Interventions:

    If complications arise, we are prepared to perform cesarean deliveries or other necessary procedures to protect you and your baby.

  • Personalized Birthing Plans:

    We respect your birthing plan and adjust our care to support your choices whenever possible.

What to Expect

  • Before Labor Begins:

    You’ll check into the hospital where our team will review your birth plan, discuss pain management options, and perform initial checks like monitoring your baby’s heart rate and your contractions.

  • During Labor:

    We provide continuous monitoring of your baby’s well-being and your progress. Our team supports your pain management preferences and adjusts care as needed to keep you and your baby safe.

  • Delivery:

    When it’s time to deliver, we guide you through the process, whether it’s a vaginal delivery or cesarean section. After birth, we encourage skin-to-skin contact and provide initial newborn assessments.
