A birth center birth is way more personalized care in a home-like atmosphere but still with medical professionals. The mother has the opportunity to make her own medical decisions pertaining to activity, eating, birthing positions and any medical interventions that may or may not need to be done. There are a minimum of two people in your birth.
A midwife and a birth assistant and sometimes a student. We require all of our staff to be CPR and NRP Certified and we perform quarterly emergency drills to ensure that our staff is fully trained and prepared for any emergency that takes place. They are familiar with our birth center and we work together well when our clients need to be transferred.
We accept all other insurances on an out-of-network basis. If you give us a call we can do a verification of benefits on your insurance before you choose us as your provider. The verification of benefits will give us your out-of-pocket cost. Calling to schedule a free tour and consultation is our first step.
This gives you an opportunity to meet our midwives, tour our facility and ask any questions you have about Waco Birth Center and Clinic. The ideal time is weeks gestation. We start seeing clients at this time because this is when you can see the baby on the ultrasound.
Before then, we cannot see the baby or their heartbeat. We take clients up to 40 weeks gestation if they are a normal pregnancy with good prenatal records. We use hydrotherapy which is evidence based to help pain in labor because of the buoyancy in the water.
