Birthing Centers

A Free-Standing Birth Center is a facility where women experiencing a healthy, low risk pregnancy can find individualized care in a home-like setting. Women choosing to birth at a birthing center see midwives for their prenatal care and have access to the same tests, technology and care as a woman birthing in a hospital. Many birth centers are able to accept insurance and also offer payment plans. (Resources: birthcenter.org, waterbirth.org.)
