Inspiring Birth Stories to Look For!
April’s waterbirth
“As a younger mom I had a lot of fears surrounding giving birth in a hospital and properly advocating for myself and my baby. I was hesitant to try a birthing center at first because nobody I know has ever delivered at one but it was absolutely the best decision I could have made! I had the water birth I dreamed of and my family was shocked how quickly I was back home and recovering. My midwife, Kim, was so comforting and trustworthy and my nurse Jamie always knew exactly what I needed! I am SO glad that she thought to take pictures and videos of my labor/birth. I never would have remembered the moment but I am so grateful that I have a way to relive such a sacred moment because it all became such a blur. The birthing center is so beautiful and allows for such a peaceful and empowering experience. I recommend OBC for anyone wanting a physiological birth! I wouldn’t want to do it any other way for my future kids as well!”
Katie’s childbirth
”I recently had our baby girl at Our Birthing Center with the Midwives of NJ and wish that every mother could experience having her baby there. I had our first daughter in the hospital and the two experiences were so different.
Everyone at Our Birthing Center is so helpful and personable. Everything was taken care of so easily. It was nice being able to go right to the birthing center, where it is peaceful and everyone supports your wishes. I felt empowered and in control.
As soon as our daughter was born, I held her for hours before anyone asked anything of us. Those hours were so precious and unforgettable. Our nurse, Jamie, was very supportive, sweet and helpful. I knew that she was there for me when I needed her.
Discharge was so easy. The very next day a postpartum nurse, Sophia, came to our house to check on me and our baby. She was wonderful and put any of my and my husband’s concerns at ease.
I would recommend Our Birthing Center and the Midwives of NJ to anyone! Like I started with, every woman should be able to birth in such a wonderful place. Thank you!”
Michelle’s experience
My experience was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be for my first baby. I felt cared for and supported. The staff are incredibly nice and the rooms are so cozy and soft - like being at home! Highly recommend it if you are looking for an autonomous natural birth.
Through Phelan’s eyes
“Our Birthing Center is truly a homebirth away from home! I had the most amazing, beautiful, safe experience at OBC. The staff and the facility are more than you could ask for. I was comfortable, felt safe and had such a great birth. I absolutely recommend OBC and will use them again if I have any more children!”
