repeat customer From the prenatal exams, to labor and delivery, to the postnatal care, I felt the Austin Area Birthing Center staff and midwives were giving my baby and me the best medical care and advice possible. I was treated as individual, not just a medical chart. My labor felt particularly long (my baby was born about 10 hours after I arrived at the birthing center) and the owner, Jean, even came back to the birthing center at 9 p.m. to assist the on-call midwife. I plan to use the birthing center for my next pregnancy... read more
The ONLY birthing center I trust for my deliveries 11 years ago I was expecting my first child, and was seeing an OBGYN with the intention of having a standard hospital birth. On one of my visits I expressed to my OB that I wanted to have a natural birth without the use of an epidural and my OB just smiled, patted my arm, and said "That's nice, but I will make those decisions for you." I knew at that moment that I would not be delivering my baby in a hospital. I started doing my research on midwives in Austin and thankfully ... read more
Wonderful place to birth I just gave birth to my first child at the Austin Area Birthing Center a few days ago. I was very pleased with the prenatal care I received during the pregnancy - it was always a pleasure to come in for the appointments and all the midwives were very professional and caring. They made the birth a truly memorable experience, one that I would gladly repeat at the birthing center if I have more chidren. Jean Stokes personally attended my delivery and she worked with me and my husband toward our goal of ... read more
Amazing birth experience The midwives at AABC are so caring and experienced, making for a fantastic pregnancy and birth. Roswitha and Heather, in particular, are amazing midwives and I always felt well cared for and respected. During exams, they took the time to answer all my questions. If you are looking for a more natural birth experience with as few medical interventions as possible, in a warm yet professional environment, this is the place.
going back for a second baby birth! Hi, I've got a baby underfoot, so not a lot of time to write this review . . . but I had a fine experience at the birthing center. Even with a somewhat problematic pregnancy! (P.I.H. with partial bedrest.) I definitely connect more with some of the midwives than others, but compared to what I hear about most OB office experiences, it's been a pleasure to be at AABC. I'm now 7 months pregnant with another baby, and chose the Birthing Center for a second time. All births are unpredictable, b... read more
A success story of a transport birth My partner and I just had our first baby with the help of the Austin Area Birthing Center. We knew we wanted to experience as natural a pregnancy and birth as possible. The prenatal care with the midwives was fantastic. No excessive poking or prodding, just good advice, information and encouragement. They operated without any disrespect to hospitals or women who choose to have children by other means.
The only place to birth in Austin My first baby was born at St. Davids. It was a horrible experience that was capped off by the doctor tring to forcably pull the placenta within a few minutes of the birth ( which was excrutiatingly painful, not to mention dangerous). I was determined not to have an experience like that with my second child. The birth center made that possible. The amazing midwives and staff were always there to support me and my family. They responded immediately to our questions and concerns. Our second bab... read more
Wonderful experience My experience at the birthing center has been very pleasant. The midwives are caring, nurturing, and understanding to all my feelings and needs. When I call to ask questions they are always right there. The center is personable and attentive. I would highly recommend them.
Austin Area Birth Center I have had two children at AABC and I am very happy and pleased with both experiences. The nurse midwives are fabulous!!!! They took the best care of me during my pregnancy as well as through the birth and follow-up care for my babies. They were very respectful, professional, knowledgeable, and they made me feel at home with each visit. My birth experience with each baby was amazing. The staff at the birth center helped me to have the birth experience I had always wanted in an environment that was co... read more
