Birth Stories
It is a core belief at The Birth Center that pregnancy and birth are normal, healthy events in the life of a family. We treat families with respect and acknowledge them as capable of making choices that fit their values, beliefs, and lifestyles. Although birth experiences vary as much as the babies that are born here, there is a common thread that most women have--personalized, professional care. We think it makes for a nice way for a family to be born.

The Birth Story of Natalie Anne Briggs
2 Lindsey & Dan after natural birth at the Sacramento Birth Center Tuesday morning we thought she was coming. She did not. (Turned out to be Braxton Hicks contractions, very regular for several hours.) Wednesday Dan went back to work while I wallowed on the couch all day and Evelyn watched movies and had several potty accidents (she’s potty trained for the most part, but still needs mommy’s help). It was not my finest hour. So by Thursday morning, as I sat around waiting for everyone else to wake up (not getting much sleep at this point in my pregnancy), I convinced myself that it would be a bad idea for me to be left alone with Evelyn. I did not feel capable of giving her or myself proper care, physically and emotionally. So as soon as Dan’s alarm went off, I went to his side and asked if he would go in an hour or two late and help me get to my parents’ house...
