Birth Center

My Family Birth Center in Layton

Our Davis County Birth Center package provides families a home-like environment for childbirth; combining the comfort of a home birth with the safety and support of a medical setting. These are some advantages of choosing a birth center birth:

  • Proximity to the hospital: Should you or your baby need to transfer for medical reasons, our birth center is located only four minutes away from Lakeview Hospital, which has a Level II NICU equipped to handle ill and premature babies born as early as 32 weeks.
  • Personalized care and attention: We have a low client-to-midwife ratio, allowing us to provide individualized care and attention throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. This personalized approach fosters a strong sense of trust and rapport allowing us to provide the best care for your circumstances.
  • Natural childbirth support: We emphasize the use of non-invasive and non-pharmacological pain relief methods, such as hydrotherapy, water birth, relaxation techniques, and movement during labor. We also encourage eating and drinking to maintain energy.
  • Comforting and home-like environment: Our Birth center was designed to create a warm and welcoming ambiance, resembling a homely setting. This environment can reduce stress and anxiety for pregnancy, labor, and birth, facilitating a more relaxed birthing experience. 
  • Lower medical intervention rates: Research has shown that birth centers generally have lower rates of medical interventions, compared to traditional hospital settings. This is largely due to the focus on preventative care, supporting natural childbirth, and the ability to offer personalized care. 
  • Family-centered approach: We love and encourage family involvement, allowing partners, siblings, and loved ones to play an active role in the prenatal care and birthing process. This creates a more intimate and supportive atmosphere, which can positively impact your pregnancy and birth experience as a whole. 
  • Continuity of care: To ensure the most personalized level of care throughout your birth journey, we offer longer appointments ranging 30-60 minutes, allowing you to ask questions and get to know your midwives throughout pregnancy. We work along side you in pregnancy to help you develop a birth plan that feels affirming, empowering, and comfortable. It is our belief that as midwives, we can work collaboratively with our clients and empower them to take charge of their health during this time.
  • Lower healthcare costs: Birth center births are generally less expensive than hospital births, making them a more affordable option for families without compromising the quality of care. Additionally, fewer medical interventions can lead to reduced medical expenses. 
  • Reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections: Birth centers have lower infection rates compared to hospitals, which can be beneficial for both the mother and the newborn.
