Giving birth is an incredible experience, and we want to answer every single question you have. Our free seminars explain the whole process, from pregnancy to birth to postpartum care.
2. Make an appointment.
An appointment will allow us to get a good idea of your health, the baby’s health, and what your expectations are for birth.
3. Have your beautiful baby.
The time has come! Our nurse-midwives, with an obstetrician on call, will be with you every step of the way. You’re about to do something incredible!
Remember: Please bring a nutritious meal to eat after giving birth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this safe?
Absolutely. Women who choose a birth center decrease their risk of needing a C-section to only 6%. Minimal intervention, a comforting environment, and multiple advocates for your birth mean you have a much higher chance of giving birth vaginally without complications.
Can I afford it?
Yes, you can. We want every woman to have the chance to give birth on her terms. We can work with you to develop a financial plan that works for you and your family so the birth you want is available.
What about pain?
Pain is part of this journey. To manage it, we have birthing tubs, birthing balls, and dedicated staff to help you focus and persevere. You can do it!
