Under our current COVID-19 visitation guidelines, we are allowing two visitors over the age of 16 in the room with the laboring mother. If you have chosen to hire one of the certified doulas in our community, she will be able to accompany you as one of your two visitors during labor.

We are constantly watching CDC recommendations and changing practice as needed, so keep in mind that things may change. 

For more information about our policies during COVID, please review our FAQs.

Choose a comfortable, home-like birth center that offers:

• Screening services and perinatal care, including high-risk pregnancy care
• Private labor/deliver/recovery (LDR) suites
• Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
• Access to Yo Mingo, an educational app providing information on prenatal care, labor and birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, newborn care and much more!
• Breastfeeding education and support from certified lactation consultants
  

Get personalized care at the birth center from the same friendly doctor who has taken care of you and your baby throughout your pregnancy. Unlike hospitals where babies are delivered by whoever is available, your preferred doctor is likely the one who will be with you in the delivery room. Call 858-613-4276 or search online to find the right provider for you.

Enjoy the privacy and comfort of having your own spacious labor/deliver/recovery (LDR) suite. You’ll conveniently stay in the same comfortable room throughout your entire birth experience.

Relax in a labor tub filled with warm water to help lessen pain and reduce stress. We offer laboring tubs right in the privacy of your suite.

Rest assured you’ll receive exceptional care from a knowledgeable team who treats you like family. You and your baby will also each have a dedicated nurse who focuses on your well being throughout your time at the birth center.

Doulas are welcome to provide support and guidance during your stay at the birth center.

Fetal monitoring allows your care team to monitor your baby’s heart rate and your contractions during labor. You’ll be able to move around freely so you feel as comfortable as possible.

Rely on your care team to respect your wishes when it comes to visitors. Our staff will also make sure your loved ones are comfortable so they can provide you with support.

Your friends and family can visit the birth center at any time thanks to our open visitation policy. Only one visitor, who must be over age 16, may stay overnight. Comfortable sleeper chairs and pull-out sofas in the birth suites are available.

For your safety and the safety of your visitors, certain restrictions may be in place during flu season. Talk to your care team to learn more.

Enjoy a celebratory postpartum champagne toast and a nutritious meal after your birth. We offer delicious, healthy food and beverages from our room-service menu, and staff will bring them to you in the comfort of your suite.
