Massachusetts Birth Centers

A birth center is a family-focused, holistic environment where you are supported and respected as well as safe and secure. You will have a private room for giving birth and be able to make choices about wearing your own clothing, eating when you feel hungry, soaking in a tub or even having a water birth. Birth centers welcome your children, your parents, and your friends so you can decide who will be with you or near you as you give birth. Birth centers give you continuing support; holistic pain management; and information on infant care, breastfeeding, parenting, and family planning.
