Unmedicated Birth

For women who desire an unmedicated childbirth experience, attending childbirth education classes can help you prepare for your baby's arrival. During these classes, you'll learn how to deal with pain during labor and delivery, as well as proper diet and exercise during your pregnancy.

For a complete list of maternity and parenting classes click here.

Many classes will help you in developing a birth plan. Discuss your birth plan with your health care provider. TriHealth will support a mother’s birth plan as long as it’s medically safe for both mother and baby. If support from a doula is a part of your plan, know that TriHealth welcomes doulas in all three delivery hospitals. Talk to your provider about Doula involvement during the labor process.

TriHealth provides modern and comfortable private rooms for all maternity patients. Unmedicated childbirth plans are supported in all Labor & Delivery suites. Each hospital also provides dedicated Natural Childbirth suites. Our Unmedicated Childbirth support team of nurses, midwives and physicians will be here to support you and make your birth experience special, focused on you and your family.
