BIRTH CENTER SERVICES

A Space Created with Your Comfort in Mind

Each birthing suite is thoughtfully equipped with:
• Soft, gentle lighting and a comfortable bed
• Birth tubs for water birth
• Birthing balls, stools, and freedom to move throughout labor
• A diffuser (bring your favorite oils or choose from ours—please ask to learn more!)
• Access to a TENS unit for comfort
• Room for your support team with no limit on who can join you

Your family or support system can settle in comfortably too—but if you’d like a little more privacy, our waiting areas include free Wi-Fi and TVs with access to Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and more.

You’re welcome to eat and drink freely during labor, wear whatever you’re comfortabel in, and take photographs and record your baby’s birth. The kitchenette is stocked with snacks and space to bring your favorites, brew tea, or make a warm meal when you need it most.

Your prenatal and postpartum care is the same high-quality, relationship-centered support across all locations of birth. For a detailed breakdown of what these visits include, visit our Prenatal Care and Postpartum Care Service Pages.

Your care team supports you with the same continuity, attention, and calm presence you’d receive in a home birth. We practice delayed cord clamping, keep baby on your chest for immediate bonding, and complete newborn assessments right at your bedside so you remain connected and supported.

Families typically head home within 3–5 hours after birth—once you and baby are stable, fed, and ready to rest in your own space. If a situation arises that requires hospital support, you can feel confident knowing we have clear, established transfer plans and a team trained to recognize and respond early.

All Village Birth Center practitioners maintain certifications in CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) and participate in regular emergency drills to remain skilled and prepared.

All required birth documents, including the birth certificate and Social Security card, are filed on your behalf so you can simply focus on healing and bonding.
