Meet the Minnesota Birth Center

MBC’s Orientations offer you the opportunity to learn about our personalized prenatal, birth, and postpartum care from our expert Certified Nurse-Midwives. Tour our modern birthing suites, learn about our innovative financial model, and truly understand what an empowered birth experience looks like. If you’re really lucky, you’ll smell fresh-baked bread or soothing scents of an herbal bath wafting through the hallways – our way of signaling another beautiful birth at the Minnesota Birth Center.

Orientations are an essential component of MBC care and are available at both our Minneapolis and St. Paul locations. While attendance is required for all new maternity patients (excluding those seeking a VBAC), anyone researching care options, whether pregnant or not, is also invited to attend! We welcome and respect all family structures, gender identities, religious affiliations and backgrounds.

We are resuming in-person orientations that were previously only offered virtually in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, we will alternate offerings at each site both virtually and in-person so you may choose what is best for you. Once you register below you will receive a confirmation email. 

– For in-person orientation, please be sure you go to the site indicated and arrive 5 minutes early. Masking is currently optional at MBC. 

– Additional instructions for how to access the virtual orientation will be sent the day of your orientation. At this time there is not an option to view a replay of orientation – you must be able to log-in at the scheduled time to participate. Email us with questions.

As you look forward to attending Orientation, we encourage you to check out both our Frequently Asked Questions page as well as our list of Risk Factors for care.

We look forward to meeting you at Orientation! Your best birth experience awaits you!
