Natural Childbirth at Twin Cities Hospital

New labor tub at Twin Cities Hospital

If you’re having a baby or planning to someday, Twin Cities Community Hospital is the best place to welcome your new addition to the world. It is our mission to provide quality patient care focusing on individuality, compassion, safety, and respect. The Obstetrical Services at Twin Cities offers a natural and comforting atmosphere for the birth of your child in the security of a hospital setting.
If a natural childbirth is what you’re looking for, we have many alterative amenities for use during labor from soaking in a warm labor tub during labor to hydrotherapy in a warm running private shower. We have aromatherapy oils for massage, and soothing scents to add to the labor tub or room air as desired. CD players are available to listen to your favorite relaxing music. Birthing balls and labor birth beds allow physiologic positioning throughout labor and birth.
We are the only hospital in San Luis Obispo County to offer all private rooms and we encourage the father or the support person to stay overnight with the mother. We value the importance of couplet care, which keeps mom and baby together during their stay to support bonding. We have lactation educators on staff for breastfeeding support. A nurse is assigned to care for the mother and newborn 24 hours a day.
We offer free educational classes to our delivering families to prepare them for that special day and the care needed for newborns after the birth.
We will listen to our patients, meet their needs, requests and provide professional guidance for positive birth outcomes. The most valuable amenity we have is the warm, friendly, caring, nurturing staff. We all feel it is a phenomenal experience to share in, support and be apart of this life changing event. There is nothing more miraculous than the birth of a child. - submitted by Shareen Taylor, Director of Perinatal Services
