It is our philosophy here at The Birthing Cottage that pregnancy and birth are a normal, natural, and healthy event in life. We believe that with the proper care, education, and support most healthy women are capable of having an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth. With this philosophy in mind, we provide our clients with exceptional prenatal care and education. Under the supportive, skilled care of our knowledgeable staff, mothers safely labor and birth in our relaxed atmosphere with minimal, if any, medical intervention. A mother’s desire to give birth naturally, to be treated with dignity and respect, to eat, drink and move in labor, to settle into a warm bath, to have her baby placed in her loving arms at the moment of birth... are all seen as reasonable and very appropriate requests. At The Birthing Cottage you are considered a mother involved in a normal and beautiful process, instead of a patient with an illness or a routine medical condition.

We here at The Birthing Cottage understand that pregnancy and birth are a miraculous time and believe that it should be family centered. The gentle style in which our babies enter the world here at Birthing Cottage allows for positive imprinting at birth and increased parent-child bonding. The beauty of birth center birth is that it honors babies and families. There is no separation of the mother, newborn, father or siblings during the entire event. We encourage the involvement of the family and friends with whom you choose to participate in the miracle of your baby’s birth.
