Birth Centers as an Option for Your Birth Nov 4th 2012, 09:20 You may never have heard of the option of a birth center. It's a sort of middle of the road between a hospital birth and a home birth. It can be staffed with Certified Nurse Midwives, Certified Professional Midwives, doctors, etc. Not every metropolitan area has a birth center, but many women travel miles to go to a birth center. While there are no epidurals done in birth centers, there are many forms of pain relief including water, massage, etc. but also some offer forms of narcotic medications.
