Why us?

The birth center model of care: high touch, low tech

Give yourself the best chance of achieving the birth of your dreams by choosing a facility that is designed to support your goals for a low-intervention birth. “The biggest risk factor for getting a c-section is not actually your medical risks or your personal preferences. It’s which door you walk through” when you’re in labor. (Dr. Neel Shah, Ariadne Labs)

Expert birth team dedicated to supporting physiologic birth

Birth care provided by midwives is the solution to our country’s failing birth care system. Research shows that midwifery care improves birth outcomes, enhances the care experience, is cost effective, and reduces inequities. Birth centers are the only healthcare facilities where the midwifery model is the exclusive model of care practiced (Beloved Birth 50 by 50 – https://www.belovedbirth50by50.org/)

Award-winning outcomes

Minnesota Birth Center reports our statistics to the American College of Nurse Midwives and is recognized every year for our exceptional outcomes, compared to other similar-sized midwifery practices across the United States. As an annual recipient of the “Triple Aim” Best Practice designation, we have consistently achieved high breastfeeding rates, low preterm birth rates, and low cesarean rates.

Patient Experiences

I found healing at MBC. Birth has given me confidence and love for my body that I wish all women could experience. Midwife Heather's care and support is something I will never forget. And the fresh baked bread and herbal bath were the icing on the cake!

Thank you to ALL of the staff for making our pregnancy and birth journey truly empowering and special. It took us 7 years to have our baby and you all made it everything we had been dreaming of for years.

Your midwives made me feel so respected and heard, and I felt like I was fully in control all the time. It was an amazing experience.

...This VBAC wasn't just a medical success, it was an emotional transformation. It gave me back the sense of agency and strength that I lost after my birth. You helped me reclaim joy and confidence in my body...

We can't wait to meet you!
