What parents say

Wow. What to say except you literally can only expect the absolute best from this team. When you are at your most vulnerable, they are there to support you. They encourage you strongly and build you up when you feel weak. I've never felt more empowered in my life!

For the birth of my third and last baby I really wanted professional documentation. I wanted to have my husband be able to be fully present without needing his phone out to record any parts of labor, delivery, or our new baby meeting his brothers.

I can’t recommend Brittany at Gather Birth highly enough. She has such a gift for making people feel calm and at ease. During my pregnancy, which came with a lot of unknowns, she took the time to help me put together a thoughtful birth plan and made me feel supported every step of the way.

I looked through a lot of portfolios until I found Meredith’s with gather birth. She (and her team) are phenomenal photographers, but that is only a small fraction of what makes them an amazing addition to your birth team. Meredith attended my birth and was such an integral part of my positive experience.

Is Gather Birth Cooperative a freestanding birth center or a hospital unit?
Their public listing categorizes them as pregnancy care center and childbirth class, not a hospital maternity unit. Ask them directly where births take place and how they coordinate with hospitals, and confirm the details with your provider.
Does Gather Birth Cooperative offer water birth?
Water birth isn't mentioned in the public information we have for Gather Birth Cooperative. If a birthing tub matters to you, ask the facility directly — options change, and our data may not capture everything they offer.
Does Gather Birth Cooperative accept insurance or Medicaid?
We couldn't confirm insurance details from public information. Ask the facility which plans they accept, and check with your insurer about coverage for the type of birth care you're planning.
