What happens in an emergency during labor or birth?
The nurse-midwives are highly qualified to effectively manage emergency situations associated with labor and birth. In the event of a situation that requires transfer to a hospital, or for those women with conditions that require a hospital birth, our midwives have hospital privileges in Lyons, KS. They will accompany the client to the hospital and usually be able to deliver the baby unless a C-Section is needed. We have collaborative arrangements with physicians in Sterling and Wichita, KS for complications. The patient will go by private vehicle or by ambulance to the facility appropriate for the emergency (Hutchinson, Lyons, or Wichita).
