Making your delivery personal
BSW- Centennial’s approach to caring for new and expecting parents focuses on providing personalized and positive patient experiences. Mothers should consult with their obstetric gynecologist (OB/GYN) to determine a birthing plan and learn about their options and the type of care they and their baby may need. For mothers who are high-risk, BSW - Centennial recommends collaborating with a maternal-fetal medicine specialist to identify any specific care the mother and baby may need during delivery.
To find the hospital that best suits their needs, mothers and families should schedule tours of their referred hospitals and explore any offered classes such as child birthing, breastfeeding and newborn care classes.

The team’s top priority is creating a memorable, comfortable birthing and delivery experience.
