Here is our story. My husband and I originally wanted a midwife at the hospital but due to short…read morestaffing issues they couldn't guaranteed that a midwife would deliver our child. We decided to transfer care to the birthing center in my 3rd trimester. The normal birthing center package advertised on the website includes 13 prenatal visits, labor and delivery, 5 postpartum visits for $7200. We participated in 7 of the 13 prenatal visits and got a $200 late to care discount. At 40 weeks, the birthing center said they were required by law to transfer me back to the hospital for labor and delivery. So back to the hospital we went. We delivered at the hospital at 40 weeks and 1 day. We left the hospital after 24 hours and were expecting to receive at home care from the birthing center and complete our care through them. We were not contacted after birth about our postpartum visits for the 24 hour or 3 day check-ins. At that point, we decided to ask for a refund for the care we did not receive which included labor and delivery and 5 postpartum care appointments. We were refunded $2,929.50 out of our initial $7,000. In total, we participated in 7 of 18 appointments and did not labor or deliver with the center. Therefore, we paid $611 per 30-60 minute check-up appointment before labor. Overall, we felt like the situation was not handled appropriately. We felt taken advantaged of and not treated fairly. We hope for the future that pricing and structures reflect the care that is given.

I can write a super long review but people rarely read them. Just want to say I love this place so…read moremuch. I had a water birth with my first son and definitely wanted one with my second son as well. This place is heaven sent. If you can tolerate labor unmedicated and fully immerse yourself in the miraculous experience of bringing a baby into this world.. this is for you! Brooke is the sweetest and most helpful receptionist. Kayla and Krista the midwives here are beyond knowledgable in their craft. After delivering my boy too quickly things became a bit scary for me and the midwife handled the situation with ease and I felt as though I was in good hands the entire time. I trust these ladies more than doctors and that speaks volumes. My last appointment was a couple weeks ago and I was really sad because it felt like a second home with all the visits. Their care, kindness and compassion is out of this world and even though I only wanted 2 kids initially, I might just have to have a third just because of how much I loved my experience here!
