Midwife services and Birth center birth in Lexington, Virginia

Family-Centered Care
Our birth center offers a warm, home-like setting where your partner, children, or other loved ones can be part of the experience, making it deeply personal and inclusive.

Personalized, Respectful Attention
Midwives and staff focus on you as an individual — you’re not just a patient or a number. Care is tailored to your preferences, values, and birth plan.

Lower Intervention Rates
Birth centers emphasize natural birth, so there’s less routine use of interventions like epidurals, inductions, or cesarean sections compared to hospitals.

Safe and Evidence-Based
For healthy, low-risk pregnancies, research shows birth centers are just as safe — sometimes safer — than hospitals, with excellent maternal and newborn outcomes.

Comfortable, Homelike Environment
Our birth center is designed to feel cozy, not clinical. You’ll labor in a private suite with a big bed, birth tubs, showers, dim lighting, and space to move freely.

Freedom and Control
You can choose the birth positions, comfort measures, and support people you want, without being confined by hospital rules or policies.

Support for Natural Birth
Midwives are experts in normal, physiologic birth and provide continuous, hands-on support, including hydrotherapy, birth balls, massage, and other coping tools.

Continuity of Care
You will see the same midwife throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — building trust and a deep connection that enhances your care.

Quicker Recovery and Early Discharge
Without the need for unnecessary medical interventions, most families go home within 4 hours after birth, allowing you to rest and bond in your own space.

Cost-Effective Care
Birth center births typically cost significantly less than hospital births, making them a more affordable choice for many families.
