Am I Qualified?

Our midwife-led, freestanding birth center specializes in providing care for healthy, low-risk pregnancies to ensure the safest outcomes for both parent and baby. Our model of care focuses on supporting the natural process of childbirth while minimizing unnecessary interventions.

There are some conditions that fall outside the scope of midwife and birth center care and would make someone ineligible for birth center care, including (but not limited to):

• A history of uterine surgery, such as a prior cesarean birth
• Current pregnancy with multiples (twins or more)

• Chronic health conditions, including pre-existing diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disorders, hyperthyroidism, neurological or psychiatric disorders, seizure disorders, and others.

• Active substance or alcohol use during pregnancy

Your first step in establishing pregnancy care is completing a risk assessment with one of our nurses. Please call us at 815-525-4304 to learn more and schedule a risk assessment.
