Almost There
July 1, 2020
If we were in labor, we’d be in transition (that last, intense part right before you push a baby into the world).
People are asking when they can come see the new birth center and if it will be ready by the time they are due.
There are still a few things that lie just beyond our control, but we are getting so close. We have our ribbon cutting tentatively planned for July 31st, but we will be able to offer private tours before that time. Sign up for one here.
What everyone is asking:
Where are you at in your process?
We just finished painting, and now we are cleaning up all of our remodeling debris before we unpack all of our super cute furniture and decorate.
We’ve put our ribbon cutting and a safely-distanced open house on the schedule for July 31st.
We should be open for all services in August, but some things depend on powers beyond our control. We will keep you posted!
What kind of care do you offer?
Prenatal, birth, and postpartum care by Certified Nurse-Midwives
Waterbirth (and any other kind of natural birth)
Women's health care (GYN, pap smears, birth control, STD testing and treatment, cancer screenings, etc)
Massage
Acupuncture
Lactation services
Childbirth education
Who can deliver there?
Any pregnant person who has had an initial consultation and who meets the health criteria set forth by the state. (If you have certain complications of pregnancy, or twins, a hospital may be the safest place for you to deliver).
People who plan to have an uncomplicated, unmedicated, vaginal delivery (birth centers do have nitrous oxide, but don't offer narcotics, epidurals, or cesarean births).
People who are due in August or later.
Does insurance cover birth centers?
Yes. We will be accepting all major health plans, including Tricare and OHP. If you have a question about payments or insurance, check with your insurance provider first and then reach out to us! We're happy to help.
Can I take a tour?
In another week or two we will be ready to offer private tours to expectant families. If you'd like to take one of those, free of charge, you can sign up here.
What’s Next:
We’ll keep in touch, share more details about our progress, and give you an idea of what birth in a birth center looks like (spoiler: it’s awesome).
