Where to find Austin Area Birthing Center
What this center offers
“The freedom to labor in so many different positions, surrounded by my support group and with an absolutely incredible midwife - I was able to have a beautiful, natural birth.”
“Instead, I had thoughtful (but not alarmist) monitoring in late pregnancy, an unmedicated birth, and a skillfully handled delivery that brought us a healthy baby.”
“Even after our baby arrived, the postpartum support was incredible — from lactation guidance to emotional check-ins, they truly cared about our whole family’s wellbeing.”
“My prenatal care here was so much better than the traditional OB route and I’m so thankful I got to have that experience with my first baby.”

What parents say
We had the most amazing experience here! This was our first pregnancy and came to the birthing center only 6 weeks before we delivered, but they were great about scheduling my appointments so that I could meet each midwife before we delivered.
From the very beginning of our pregnancy through newborn checkups and postpartum care, we received nothing but the best care from AABC North. My wife, the non-carrying parent, was consistently included and respected as an equal parent, which is something we quickly realized is rare during pregnancy, even in many LGBT…
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at AABC. From our very first visit through the birth of our daughter and into postpartum care, we felt completely supported, cared for, and genuinely seen.
I am a little late to posting this - but have been wanting to leave a review since my delivery in December of 2023. This was the most MAGICAL birth I could have hoped for. The midwives at this center balance empowerment and support so well!
