Obstetrics, Midwifery & Childbirth
At Berkshire Health Systems, we offer comprehensive and personalized care for pregnancy and childbirth. From your first prenatal visit through childbirth and the postpartum period, our team of obstetricians, midwives, nurses, and staff assure you receive quality care in line with your personal goals and health needs.
Our team of obstetricians and midwives provide specialized care tailored to your unique needs, encompassing comprehensive care throughout the childbearing year.
Berkshire Health Systems offers two Family Birthplace locations: one at Berkshire Medical Center and one at Fairview Hospital. Each offers a serene environment with private rooms, subdued lighting, infant warmers, and monitoring equipment. Furthermore, we provide specialized operating rooms for Cesarean births. Our delivery services, including anesthesia, are accessible around the clock.
Our nursing and professional staff collaborate closely with the obstetricians and midwives to accommodate your birthing preferences and needs. Experienced obstetrical nurses and lactation consultants will provide individualized care and guidance to both you and your baby.
The Certified Nurse Midwives at Berkshire Medical Center provide expert care and support to patients throughout their reproductive lifespan, from adolescence through post-menopausal. They perform annual exams, provide contraceptive management, and diagnose and treat routine GYN problems. Midwives partner with patients and their families to promote optimal health in pregnancy and childbirth, with a focus on personalized care, education, and informed choice for patients of all risk levels. Midwives work closely with physician colleagues to seamlessly manage any complications that may occur during pregnancy or childbirth.
At Berkshire Health Systems, we understand the myriad emotions tied to pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. With the privilege of assisting expectant families, we will guide you through this transformative journey. Acknowledging the multitude of questions and concerns that arise, our dedicated team at BMC is prepared to offer comprehensive support at every step. Whether you enter pregnancy with pre-existing health concerns, or develop a problem in pregnancy, we will create a plan of care to optimize your health and wellbeing. We also partner with Baystate Medical Center’s Maternal Fetal Medicine physicians for specialized high-risk care so that you can continue to receive your care close to home at BMC.
At Berkshire Health Systems, we offer a variety of tests throughout your pregnancy to better understand you and your developing fetus. Blood and urine tests check for or monitor possible health conditions. Ultrasounds assess fetal growth and wellbeing.
A number of early genetic screening tests are available including Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), which screens for chromosomal abnormalities in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Your provider will let you know what tests you need and when. You can expect to have prenatal tests during each of your three trimesters of pregnancy.
