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 Zen Andrei Lavrov
Zen Andrei Lavrov It had taken us a while to become pregnant; so when we were finally expecting, I knew I wanted a positive birthing experience. Like many other expectant couples, we had watched some documentaries about birth in the United States. We quickly realized we did not want a conventional hospital birth where our voices and wishes might go unheard. However, we were also not prepared to have our first baby at home. Thankfully, we learned of Ruth and The Birth Center. Our prenatal care at the Birth Center began at 12 weeks. I could tell early on that my care would be different from the care my pregnant friends were receiving. The staff was always friendly and supportive, and I was able to work with Ruth from the beginning until the birth. The trust we had in her and her staff grew during each visit and we were confident that this was the team to help us achieve the birth we had been...

The Birth Story of Kadin Campbell
1 Holly Miller and family after birth at the Sacramento Brrth Center Our experience at *The Birth Center* was AMAZING! With this being our third and last child we wanted to try an “alternative” birthing process. Being referred to The Birth Center by a friend was a Godsend. My labor began at home around 2:00am on October 18, 2011. I was able to stay at home for the first part of my labor until 5:00am. When my husband, 11 year old daughter, 9 year old son and I arrived at The Birth Center I was at 9 centimeters. That was when the contractions became more intense. My husband was right there so I could squeeze his hands through each one. What worked best for me was standing and breathing through my contractions. I personally couldn’t find any other comfortable position even though the staff offered many with multiple devices. It was very peaceful at The Birth Center with minimal noise and dim lights. Ruth, Jen and Christa...
