Very nice and knowledgeable staff. However, I am extremely frustrated with their accounting department. I am due a refund (because my son decided to be born in my garage on the way to the birthing center). He was born in February and I have been given the runaround for months now. First no one answering the phone, leaving voicemail after voicemail and no one calls me back. Sending multiple emails. I got response that they put in a request for my refund but it's in process and they have no timeline when it will be sent. I believe it's been delayed because they are facing financial difficulties (evidenced by their own website posting they are moving to a "new" model for financial stability/long term sustainability). I am at the point where I am filing a complaint with the Attorney General's office and filing a civil suit in Fulton County Courts. VERY disappointing and sad when their staff are amazing people!!! Go to Northside instead! read more

I never leave review but the ABC is not the same as it was 5 years ago. def a downgrade. the office manager specifically. we arrived for my first appt (february 2026) from an hr and a half away, five mins late. NO ONE was at the front desk at all when we arrived. she showed up FIFTEEN mins later from the "bathroom" and proceeded to tell us we could not attend our appt due to the fact that she had cancelled it before going to the bathroom which wouldve been well before the time allotment to be late was up. she was very rude to me and another white customer who came in while my partner was waiting to try to speak to someone. another woman who ended up just leaving told us she had been trying to get a form for weeks and was unable to do so due to the lack of communication. my partner was unable to speak to anyone else as she claimed to be the manager and would not consider that we had driven from over an hr away for our appt. im not sure how the midwives and nurses are because after such deplorable treatment we decided not to return at all. very poorly ran. they have also raised costs and are requiring you to take classes that you may not necessarily need esp if youve had multiple natural births before. also they have moved to a smaller/less nice facility next door than previously used which wouldnt have been a problem for me but just so you are aware of before you make an appt (we were not made aware). sucks because we had such a good experience with our last baby and i was looking forward to a similar experience. this woman should not be working in a field with pregnant women and babies when birth centers are so important in places like the south. it drives away people desiring a respected and peaceful smooth process of prental care and natural birth. i hope this review finds its way to management and she is replaced so other women do not have to deal with her. read more

I was a planned transfer at 36 weeks due to precaution. I have not received my facility fee refund as of today. It's been almost a year. My son turns one on 5/15. I have sent countless emails. I call every day. I haven't had a response from ABC since Feb. Midiwife Kat delivered my baby and did an excellent job. Thank you read more

ABC was an answered prayer! my husband and I wanted a more natural model of care for our first pregnancy and the team here was amazing! my midwife Andrea and midwife assistant Jordan took such wonderful care of us and helped me feel so empowered during the water birth. I only hope more people help keep this wonderful place going! read more

I drank raspberry leaf tea and did okra suppositories for all 9 months. 12:01am on my due date hit, my water broke and I went from 0 to 10 cm within 30 seconds. That bitch shot out like the greased pig through my arms on a slip n'slide at vacation bible school in the summer of '03. This place is kush. Push??? Baby will damn near fall out thanks to them. 10/10 reccomend. Hubby and I were in and out in under and hour and a half. Didn't even have time to fill the pool. read more

Atlanta Birth Center - Midwives Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

They sent a nurse to visit our home after our 6th birth there. The nurse called DFACs (Georgias child protective services) on us because our older two kids are special needs and she misunderstood the situation. Dont go here. read more

My birth did not go as planned at all! I went all the way to 42 weeks and ended up being sent to the hospital. Even at the hospital things didn't go as planned and I ended up with an emergency C-section but the midwives were amazing! I mean if I had to plan to have a hospital birth I would have wanted my ABC team there. They made my hospital room as comfortable as possible and checked on me frequently. One of the midwives especially went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of the entire time while on the table and advocated for my birth plan as much as possible along with my doula. I sooooo appreciate her because she was there for me and genuinely cared. Even postpartum visits and classes have been great. I hope to have my 2nd baby at the birth center. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Wow wow wow! Where do I start ? This place was absolutely amazing. When I found out I was pregnant, I did what every new mother would do and started searching for quality prenatal care. I started care at Emory university hospital in midtown and let's just say I thought that experience was awful. No one knew my name, let alone what was going on with my pregnancy - it was terrible. I started following doulas and found out more info about what birth centers had to offer. Somehow I came across ABC on a google engine site. Now we can get into the review :) Location: it's in midtown - right off of Ted turner so really easy to find. Staff: Staff are so awesome. From the resourceful receptionist, to the helpful doctors and financial group - everyone is awesome and knows what's going on. Atmosphere: Totally personable. When you come in for your appt, you are greeted and they actually know who you are and what you need. It gives you that warm "at home" feeling. Experience: Lots of hands on, observing, detailed answering of questions and above all you will feel empowered by your pregnancy. When I was admitted at first I felt like the midwife on call that day didn't want to deal with me. I was in lots of pain and was transferred to the AMC - wellstar due to baby's heart rate not consistent. (It was simply me moving the monitors around due to pain :)) During your visits, ABC explains to you that they will go with you in the event you need to be transferred to the hospital and deliver your baby. Unless you need a c section, then their on call OB gyns does it for you. Know that you will have the same attention as a transfer patient as you would in the actual birth center. Vanessa was my midwife and she did a fantastic job being attentive and delivering my healthy baby boy with no issues. I mean she did so well everyone was impressed by the smooth catch and transition to me. Would definitely use them again if I needed to !! read more

The Atlanta Birthing Center made my wish for a water birth come true! I was in labor for 24hrs and when I was admitted to the birthing center I felt so safe and able to finally be comfortable (as comfortable as you can be considering). My significant other, sister, and doula were all able to be there for support! I hope to be able to have all of my children there! read more

The Atlanta Birth Center Staff is compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and treats us like family. The style of care we received here was incredible- I wouldn't change anything about my experience. Each staff member is understanding, patient and kind. My husband and I fell in love with the facility because we were desiring a low intervention and peaceful birth for our son. We received that and so much more. I feel strong and empowered- as a woman, as a mother and as a human being. Each person at Atlanta Birth Center play a very special role in those amazing feelings- I will always carry my experience and the relationships established here close to my heart. The gentle and caring approach I received during my pregnancy resulted in the most beautiful birth of my son. Thank you ABC Team; I am so thankful for you all. Check them out if you want to be heard, respected and taken care of. There are three amazing birthing rooms with birthing tubs, a large bed for the whole family, beautiful tile shower, and perfect bassinet for baby- the comfort of giving birth in the nicest place EVER but the amenities and expertise of a hospital- but better. Hard to describe how incredible this place truly is. You will feel confident and comfortable here; the midwives are beyond qualified and will take excellent care of you! Go experience a tour. Beautiful facility. Beautiful Midwives, Beautiful Nurses, and Beautiful Staff. read more

Amazing birthing center!! Although things did not go as opened for my birth which caused me to have a hospital birth, every appointment leading up to that moment was held at ABC. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. The on call mid wives talked me through what steps would take place once I found out I had to be sent to the hospital. The checked on me after the birth as well. Their classes pre- and post-pregnancy are really great. I really enjoy the Mocha Mamas class. I would highly recommend ABC to anyone looking to have a natural water birth. You will love the different rooms they provide for your birth. read more

I transferred out of care on 6/22/23. It if now 10/20/23 (4 months later). ABC requires full payment in advance. I have received confirmation from their billing team (contracted out) that I am owed $6,471.08. I have received no communication from ABC regarding the refund or when to expect it. Their admin team has not responded to any emails, gives no helpful information regarding timeline over the phone, and has not reached out to me to inform me that I am owed a refund. read more

AMAZING! We just had our baby with the midwives at Atlanta Birth Center and the experience was incredible! From the personalized prenatal care, to around the clock support this team of women is something special. Even the office staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel like family at every visit. Their exam rooms feel like a spa getaway and the birthing suites will make you never want to leave. I felt so supported and empowered during my birth and I have them to thank. They helped my baby arrive safely and peacefully surrounded by love and for that I am eternally grateful! read more

ABC surpassed my expectation! I had already envisioned the way I wanted my birth to go and it went exactly that way. Everyone on their staff team is so helpful, resourceful, and kind. I appreciate everyone for helping me have a safe and comfortable delivery! read more

After delivering my daughter here this past November I cannot imagine giving birth any other way. I fell in love with the facility and the midwives when I attended the information session during the beginning of my pregnancy. After switching from my previous provider to ABC I never second guessed this decision. There was never a wait to be seen during visits. That's the one thing that I hated during my previous pregnancy. I could arrive 30 minutes before an appointment and not be seen for 30-60 minutes after the appointment time. That was never an issue here. From the time you arrive your greeted with smiles and professionalism, the staff really becomes your family. During your pregnancy you are scheduled with all of the midwives. Due to the unpredictable nature of labor it's done that way so that you will be familiar with whoever is on call when your time arrives. On the magical day I called the on call line and informed the on call midwife Anjli that I believed it was time and explained why and i was instructed to come in. When I arrived I was greeted at the door by two midwives who were waiting my arrival, they guided me into the wheelchair. The hall lights were dim. I was in excruciating pain and I remember Anjli sitting in front of me face to face telling me to "let go" telling me that I had made it safely to the center and I can let my body take control. Those words and that moment set the stage for the most beautiful, peaceful, serene experience. It was exactly what I wanted. 50 minutes later my baby girl arrived. You will never feel rushed or unheard here, the practice is mother centered and you are constantly provided with information and opportunities (prolonged umbilical cord cutting, not having the baby bathed, information about your placenta) that were missing from the birth of my first born. If you are able to give birth here I highly recommend it! I wish I could rate them 10 stars. read more

Incredibly disappointing. They won't take you on if you have - or EVER HAVE HAD - a problem of ANY kind with any of your pregnancies. They will not do a VBAC (even if the conditions that led to the first were not health related), no miscarriages, no preterm births, no unrelated medical conditions, can't be too overweight, can't be over 36, and NO TWINS! They won't even deliver twins here. If you are a perfect patient in perfect health with absolutely NO RISK of ANYTHING, they will apparently take you. But the moment any problems arise, they will boot you from their care. I had hoped so much for evidence based care, but it's so impossible to find. There's no other place like this in the area. Their "compassion" only extends to those who are already in perfect shape, I guess. Those who most need it are out of luck. read more

We had an amazing experience here. I felt like our birth was THE most important thing going on that day for the midwives and nurses- incredible! I've never experienced a more dedicated and knowledgable group of care providers. I had some issues during labor and following and I'm so thankful they were there to help encourage and reassure us throughout the whole process. The birth center was a huge blessing not just to me, but also to my entire family. Everyone felt included and empowered. I found the pricing to be very fair and transparent. It is important to understand how birth centers are structured before agreeing to care (this is true for any transaction!) and we made sure we understood pricing as well as postpartum care, lactation, birth certificates, etc. This was our first baby and the postpartum care was top notch. All of my concerns were addressed and extremely well managed. read more

I don't know where to start other than I feel an extreme urge to hug every single staff member when I visit for appointments. The experience I had under their care was more considerate of my needs than I've ever had. I feel that a lot of people are skeptical of midwifery as if they are "resistant to the hospital" and will put you at risk. But what I have learned through my care at ABC is that highly educated midwives are not resistant to the hospital, they are focused on being in tune and conscience of all situations so that they can make the call WHEN IT IS TIME to actually go to a hospital instead. They are not in the business of being risky or putting you in danger. That being said. My labor experience was treated with calm confidence and they nurtured me through each stage. They helped me do exercises early on to position the baby better and even convinced me that laying down for an hour to try and dose a little in between contractions would help speed a long my slightly slow progress. After about an hour I could no longer bear the contractions, but they were right, even though laying down had slowed the pace of my contractions, the relaxation progressed me far enough to be able to use the birthing tub. Once in the tub, the baby arrived in about 20 mins. Prior to labor, there was a known worry that I might not stop bleeding after birth. This ended up being the case and they handled it exactly as we had discussed. They did not allow it to progress into an emergency and acted immediately. Natural labor is not for the faint of heart, mind, body or soul. But these folks are the right people if it is your desire. Thank you to Vanessa and Sandi for bringing my little girl into the world! read more

The absolute best place to ever have a baby. The moment you get a positive pregnancy test call them! I had my second natural pregnancy here and it was day and night to my first son. I'm now out of state with my 3rd pregnancy in Boston and can't find anywhere that's a quarter as good as this place. I'd say ABC is the best in the country. Every nurse and midwife is amazing, they treat birth naturally not like a medical emergency (unless it needs to be!) they keep calm and are truly in there element. I wish I could fly here to give birth! I don't think they'd allow that tho ha! I Love everything about this place- including Sam over in her chiropractor practice! read more

I loved everything about the Atlanta Birth Center. The rooms are beautiful and the staff is friendly, supportive, and very helpful. Everyone there is there to help you have the most calming, natural birth possible. This place is what I pictured when I pictured a Birth center. But there is a reason for the 3 stars and it is because I think it is something very important. My husband and I were discussing vaccines and how it's been proven that they do not cause autism. The midwife at that point said they do not cause it but they do make it worse if it is present in the child. I couldn't believe someone working in the medical field would say something like that. Make of it what you will. That statement did give me pause and I switched practices. read more

Here's the short(er) version of our story: Wife wakes me up at 4:30ish AM in more advanced labor, 4:45AM rolls around and her contractions are getting really strong, 5:00AM and I'm getting our son dressed because we need to roll out big time and get to Atlanta Birth Center, 5:20AM in the car, 5:35AM arrive at Atlanta Birth Center, 5:55AM our daughter is born. Whew! Atlanta Birth Center is pure magic. EVERYONE was incredible. Everyone. Crystal, our midwife, was an absolute joy and took such wonderful care of us. Hell, I even brought her breakfast. It was an incredible morning/day. The facility is brand-spanking new. It is located in a larger office with other chiropractic and medical services, but the Birth Center wing is rather large. Tons of examination rooms, offices, and more. The birthing suites are unbelievable. They truly knew how to prepare laboring moms and nervous dads who would be coming in to have their first or fifth babies and they absolutely nailed it. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms are huge, there are plenty of cozy chairs, big and squishy tubs for water births/laboring, a shared kitchen area, and easy parking to pull up when the time comes. Please look into Atlanta Birth Center if you are looking for a place to give birth. Everyone on staff is a beautiful soul and incredibly helpful individual. read more

When I found out that I was expecting a new baby and moving back to the Atlanta area, a friend pointed me in the direction of ABC. After reaching out and attending a "Meet The Midwives" meeting, I knew it was the best choice for our family. (It's worth looking into for cost reasons alone.) During my pregnancy, I met regularly with the different midwives at the calm, soothing facility on Baltimore Row. Their evidence-based approach means that I didn't have any unnecessary interventions or procedures during pregnancy or delivery. And speaking of delivery, knowing that I was personally connected to all the midwives gave me great peace of mind when I went into labor. Everything happened quickly and our little girl was born (completely naturally) just 10 minutes after we arrived at the birth center! Because it happened so quickly, our 18-month-old son was even present for the birth. I loved being able to trust my experience to the deft hands and expertise of the staff there. Because of the nature of birth center experiences, families are typically able to go home within 4-8 hours. We had our daughter at 6am and were in the car on the way home by noon. Following the birth, I have had a particularly difficult post-partum season and have had excellent follow-up care both onsite at the birth center and via phone from midwives (off the clock) just checking in to see how I was doing. I can't recommend ABC any more than the 5 stars Yelp allows. If you're going to have a baby or know someone who is, check out Atlanta Birth Center. It's incredible. read more

Where to even start? We transferred to ABC mid pregnancy after the obstetrician practice we were using was flippant when I asked about their c-section rates- and didn't seem to understand my desire for an unmediated birth. My care at ABC was so comprehensive, caring and personal. I came to know most of the staff so well that I truly miss not seeing them each week! I also used the amazing pregnancy focused chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture through practitioners in and near the birth center, which was convenient and super helpful! Our labor and delivery was wonderful. The birthing rooms are homey and warm. I felt it was the perfect environment, with the perfect people helping me calmly bring our baby into the world. I don't think we would've achieved the sort of delivery we dreamed of without Atlanta Birth Canter. Even postpartum I am still strongly supported by their care. I am so thankful! read more

My experience with the birth center was amazing from start to finish. I highly recommend them to all women! They made the birth of my first daughter magical and I couldn't imagine delivering anywhere else. read more

This place is amazing. It was the best healthcare I have ever received. Every single midwife who works there is dedicated to helping pregnant people have the best possible birthing experience. I had a hard first birth, and every single midwife I had an appointment with made sure to tell me positive stories about Second births that had gone really well. The women who attended my birth truly celebrated with us and made it such a special experience. I'm approaching my daughters first birthday and am always going to be glad that I had the opportunity to give birth here. It was a healing and transformative experience for me. Now more than ever, I'm so glad to know that women still have access to this care. read more

I had the most amazing prenatal care and birth experience at the Atlanta Birth Center! I would give this place 100 stars!!! I gave birth to my son in Feb 2019 in the most peaceful and beautiful way. The midwives and staff at ABC are best-in-class professionals and provided me with the most wonderful and supportive care. I had a giant room with a king sized bed, a huge bathroom and shower, and a birth tub in the room (all of the rooms at ABC have these amenities). The room was dimly lit, there was peaceful music playing and essentials oils in the diffuser. It felt like I was in a 4 Seasons Spa. I had a water birth with my incredible Doula guiding me through the birth process, along with the midwife, and my husband jumped in tub and caught our son. I felt so empowered and supported during my journey and I could not have asked for a better experience or team. read more

Proud to have been present at the first birth at the newly opened Atlanta Birth Center, I can say that it is a well planned center for women to choose for their births. The only birth center in the city, it is centrally located, near Emory Midtown hospital, Marta Stations and easily accessible. The director, Anjli Aurora Hinman and her well-trained, kind staff of nurses and nures midwives provided exemplary care to my client, her family and newborn, and I am thrilled to have been present for this momentous occasion. read more

The Atlanta Birth Center offers the highest level of patient care. The midwives are all highly skilled and genuinely care about the well-being of their patients & babies. We recently gave birth there in the "Fire" room which couldn't have been a more perfect setting to welcome our new son into the world. The decor is inviting and gives you a feeling of home. I had a water birth with one of the midwives Lori B. She was amazing throughout the entire process and confidently helped me through a fast and furious water birth experience. I highly recommend you check out the services that the Atlanta birth Center offers! read more

My goodness! What can I say about this center that has not already been said?! I have literally just given birth less than 24 hrs ago and I am up writing this review because they really deserve it! From the office visits with the staff, to the labor and delivery, all the way to postpartum care they deserve every bit of the five star review and more! This is my family's fourth(and final) little one and I decided to go with The Atlanta Birth Center. My first was delivered at hospital, 2nd and 3rd delivered at home. Out of all 4 I would most definitely say The Birth Center gave me the best birthing experience! The delivery rooms are so homey and just gives you a sense of calm. I felt safe, they were very accommodating, they were patient, I didn't feel rushed, they were understanding, I mean I can go on and on but to sum it a up! The level of care they provided was phenomenal and I would recommend ANYONE who would like to go the natural route!!! Thank you Staci and the nurses who assisted me during my birth! You guys were amazing!!! read more

Atlanta Birth Center took such amazing care of me during the prenatal care and birth of my second child, born 10 days ago in the middle of the night. I am so thankful to have found this facility and these women! My birth experience with my second at ABC was night and day different from my birth experience at a hospital with my first. My birthing room was relaxing and had everything I needed, including my favorite: a birthing ball in a warm shower. Everyone at the birth center is so friendly and truly seemed to care about me, my baby, and our care. They also went above and beyond in ways I didn't expect. When I mentioned we were too financially strained to afford a doula, they found me two doulas-in-training to assist with my birth (who were great!). Even though we live slightly outside of a 30 mile radius from the birth center, they still came to my home for my first postpartum check-up. They've been following up with several emails postpartum to check up on me. I fully intend to return to ABC for any and all future pregnancies. read more

Be warned. Even if you only get a month of prenatal care instead of the full pregnancy, THEY CHARGE YOU FOR THE FULL AMOUNT. Also their recommended lactation consultants (who they will soon have in their office) upcharge and don't actually provide you with care. I got charged $120 and was provided with no nursing help or advice, they told me to get a completely unnecessary tongue and lip tie (costs $800) but my baby still couldn't latch after! ENDED UP ON FORMULA ANYWAYS. I went back to Atlanta Birth Center for a follow up & they apologized and said they'd reach out to Pea Pod Lactation, which apparently they didn't even do. Currently in limbo trying to get reimbursed for that waste of a visit and 40 minute drive. Oh and great news, they wait until you've already signed on as a patient to tell you that they can't even do the birth certificate there! Lucky me, I had to drive to a government agency with a week old baby to get her dad on the birth certificate! Class act! THANKS GUYS. GO WITH A REGULAR MIDWIFE. DO NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE BIRTH CENTER'S RED TAPE. THEY HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. read more
