Lucina Birth Centre: A Homelike Environment for Your Delivery

August 25, 2024

There are simply so many styles of delivery. While some people are absolutely fine with giving birth in a hospital, others want a more intimate, less rushed experience. A home birth might seem like a natural alternative, but it’s simply not accessible (or desirable) for everyone. If you want a homelike environment for your delivery but don’t want to have to deal with all the setup, let me tell you why I think Lucina Birth Centre might be the perfect choice for you. As an Edmonton photographer, I get the chance to work with a lot of parents who have had their ideal birth experience. Here is why I think you should check out this spot!

About Lucina Birth Centre

9505 163 Street Edmonton, Alberta T5P 3M6

The Lucina Birth Centre is a non-profit space that is dedicated to providing everyone with exceptional care. Since the practice first opened its doors, they have been able to assist with over 1,800 births. Unlike many other birth centers, this is solely a practice for your delivery. With it, you will be responsible for finding your own midwife, and you can choose to work with the Lucina Midwives at their separate practice if you’d like. This approach gives you the freedom to find the birth team that matches your style perfectly. This practice is inclusive and will work with families of all backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures.

Services

Lucina Birth Centre has two suites that you can use for your delivery. The rooms are both modern and spacious. You’re going to ditch all the noise and stress of a hospital in favor of a quiet space where you will have control over the environment. In each of the rooms, you will have access to a large birthing pool that you can use at any point in your labor. They have additional tools, including birth stools, birthing balls, peanuts, birth slings, and donut balls. They have TENS units and laughing gas as natural forms of pain relief.  You will have total control of the environment, including the level of the dimmable lights and the music on the Bluetooth speaker.  Following your baby’s birth, you will have time to bond, and then you will be released to recover from the comfort of your own home.
