Birthing Services
At Fletcher Allen, we believe that each woman is unique and every birth is special. Our goal is to provide the style of care that is right for you and your family’s individual needs.
A hallmark of midwifery care is labor support for natural childbirth. Though a majority of our patients seek a natural birth, some do use medication. You can be confident the Midwifery Service will support your choice of options for pain relief during the birthing process.
