Family-Centered Cesarean Deliveries

Ridgeview offers the option for a family-centered cesarean delivery for women who have planned and/or scheduled cesarean deliveries. Mothers can view the birth through a clear drape with immediate skin-to-skin contact with baby—promoting early bonding and enhancing the surgical experience.

Options for Pain Relief

Ridgeview offers choices for pain relief—including nitrous oxide. Other alternatives include: epidural, IV pain medicine and hydrotherapy (shower or bath tub). Women who choose nitrous oxide can also later request an epidural or other pain relief.
