Midwifery Care
At Alabama Birth Center you will be seen by our professional Midwives throughout all of your prenatal appointments.
What is Midwifery Care?
At Alabama Birth Center you will receive midwifery care. A midwife is a healthcare professional with specialized training in offering obstetric and gynecological services, encompassing primary care, prenatal and obstetric care, as well as routine gynecological services such as annual exams and contraception. They specialize in providing expert care for uncomplicated obstetric and gynecological conditions.
Midwives are not OBGYNs.
Is Midwifery Care Right for You?
At Alabama Birth Center, we believe every person has a right to:
Equitable, ethical, and accessible quality healthcare that fosters healing and promotes health.
Healthcare that respects human dignity, individuality, and diversity among groups.
Comprehensive and accurate information to enable informed healthcare decisions.
The right to self-determination and active involvement in healthcare decisions.
Inclusion of a woman’s designated family members, as much as she desires, in all healthcare experiences.
When you choose Alabama Birth Center, you are empowered with knowledge and support to create your own birth plan. We respect your intimacy, privacy, and family integrity, and you are cared for with patience and understanding by our team of birth experts.
Every birth is a unique event. Our team will encourage you to explore your options for labor and delivery, assist you in customizing your own plan, and support you in your decisions.
As long as you do not have serious or chronic medical conditions such as high blood pressure, epilepsy, heart disease, or diabetes, midwifery can be an excellent choice.
If you’re seeking a more personalized, less routine approach to childbirth than what most traditional hospitals offer, then Alabama Birth Center is the place for you!
