Water Birth
Immersing oneself in water during labor brings forth numerous proven advantages for mothers. The aquatic environment promotes relaxation, easing movement and fostering a sense of calm. The water's gentle pressure on the body activates touch and temperature nerves on the skin, effectively blocking pain impulses to the brain. Furthermore, extensive research affirms that water births are just as safe for babies as traditional births on dry land. At PBP we offer tubs in each birth room, providing the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy and accommodating water births for those who choose this gentle and supportive option.
Lactation Support
We extend breastfeeding support right from the moment you welcome your baby into the world, during your postpartum home visit, postpartum office visits and through convenient phone consultations.

She is also available by appointment for future visits if needed. This includes specialized care for issues like tongue and lip-tie, ensuring your breastfeeding journey is well-guided and successful.

Before the newborn exam, essential assessments such as the baby's lung function, heart rate, temperature, and APGAR scores are carefully evaluated while the mother holds her newborn in her arms. Our team is certified in CPR and neonatal pulmonary resuscitation, and equipped with the expertise to resuscitate babies if such intervention becomes necessary.
