Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

November 30, 2017

What Should I Know About Choosing A Birthing Center?

I recently had the unique opportunity to visit and tour the birthing center at the Mission Hills Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, and this time I did it without giving birth. I think the only other time I was actually in a birthing center I was in labor. It was nice to be on the other side, so I could really take it all in and ask all the questions that have been on my mind.

With that said, I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Nicole Waschak of Providence Holy Cross. We talked about everything from laborists who care for mothers-to-be 24/7 to nurses, lactation experts, respiratory therapists, and other specialists who are available when necessary.

What Should I Know About Choosing A Birthing Center?

One of the main questions I had was, “What should I look for when selecting a birthing center?”

Dr. Waschak was very informative when answering all my questions. She was extremely easy to talk to, and even laughed when I asked, “Does everyone poop while pushing a baby out?” You know I had to ask that one.

I felt very comfortable talking with her and was so impressed to hear about all of the awards Providence has received. They were the recipients of The Labor and Delivery Excellence Award from Healthgrades in 2017. I don’t know about you, but this made me feel at ease, knowing myself and my baby are in good hands.

Check out more of my interview with Dr. Nicole Waschak here.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
