A Birthing Center is geared up to supporting the mother in giving birth and making her as comfortable as possible providing equipment not normally available in hospitals such as birthing pools. They do generally have some qualified nurses and access to doctors but most of the staff will be carers providing for comfort requirements and helping the mother have the baby in the manner they want, rather than for medical needs.
Some birthing centers use a hot tub for labor and delivery. It is called a water birth. A hot tub in itself can not make you go into labor, it can alleviate the pains of labor if done correctly in a controlled environment like a birthing center.
During prenatal appointments with your doula, the two of you will discuss when you should call when you go into labor. It depends on a number of factors: whether you are delivering at home or in a hospital or birth center, and how far your birthing site is from your home, how quickly your previous labors have progressed, how long you would like to labor at home before going to the hospital or birth center (if applicable) and personal choice. Some women want their doulas with them as soon as they start feeling labor pains, others opt to call when they are headed to the hospital or when their labor starts to get more active and intense. There is no right answer, just what is right for you and your doula.
The first stage of the birthing process is the onset of labor, which involves regular contractions of the uterus that help to dilate the cervix.

Approximately 12% of hospitals in the US allow water births. This percentage has been steadily increasing in recent years as more hospitals recognize the benefits and safety of water birth as an option for labor and delivery.
A Birthing Ball can help with position changes and it can also help to comfort the woman by decreasing the pressure and pain while sitting on or lightly bouncing on it.
I would choose a class that is not affiliated with your hospital. Find an independent instructor who teaches Bradley, Birthworks, Birthing From Within, or ALACE. These classes are geared towards providing a wealth of resources for coping with labor. Hospital classes generally include a lot of hospital protocol, and you will learn more valuable info from an independent educator.
In a hospital who takes care of the mother during labor???
The sheep birthing process is called lambing. It typically involves the ewe going into labor and giving birth to one or more lambs. It is a crucial time for the health and well-being of both the ewe and her offspring.
I am a Labor and Deliver Nurse at a very busy birthing hospital (I usually see 2-3 births per day) and haven't seen a "blood free" delivery yet. I don't think that ever happens.
The birthing ball or anything else should not be used to speed up labour unless it is medically necessary. The birthing ball's primary purpose is to help you find a comfortable position and to focus your attention ready for the onset of labour.
