Labor & Birth

Our goal is to help you have the birth that you want. We work with you to design a birth plan and support you as you make your labor and birth plan a reality. Our certified midwives are by your side throughout your labor, offering encouragement and coaching, in a way that feels right for you. You will give birth in the same suites where you have been seen for your prenatal care so that you are familiar with and comfortable in the environment. You can wear what you want; move as you want; eat what you want and be with whomever you choose.

Birthing Suites

They offer plenty of room to move around during labor and provide a range of amenities including: cozy beds large enough to share with your family, walk-in showers with room for you and your support person, deep soaking tubs that can be used during labor and birth, birth balls, plush towels, and robes.

Water Birth

Our birthing suites all include large tubs that are available to you during labor. Currently, 75% of the births conducted in our Rogers, Arkansas location are water births. There are many benefits to laboring in water and our certified midwives are happy to support women who want to give birth in the tub to do so safely.

Our Midwives are Trained in Early Newborn Care.

Following birth, our midwives and nurses will stay nearby to ensure you and your baby are happy and healthy before stepping away to give your family time to get to know your newest addition. After giving you time to bond with your baby, they will do a head-to-toe physical assessment, ensure your baby is nursing well, and review what you need to watch for in the first few days of your little onesÂ’ life. We will help you with breastfeeding and answer any questions you have as you prepare to take your baby home.

Going Home

We stay in close contact to ensure that everyone is happy and healthy. 24-48 hours after your baby is born, we visit your home to do a full physical exam of you and your baby and answer any questions about breastfeeding, newborn care, or any part of the new parent experience, without disrupting the rest, recovery, and bonding your family needs.
