Where to find Northern Light Mercy Birthing

What parents say

I delivered my daughter (6th child) on Christmas evening. The entire staff from midwives to nurses were amazing. Emily, happy, barbara, and Eliza stood out the most in my mind for how much they care and love their job. They were attentive and genuinely cared for me and my daughter lilly.

★★★★★ — Joshua, 2025-12

Such an amazing experience here. The doctor's, nurses and all support staff were welcoming, caring, nurturing, calming and supportive. They always made sure I was comfortable with what was happening and let me lead how I wanted my experience to go while guiding me through.

★★★★★ — Kaitlyn, 2022-09

The only reason there aren’t more 5 star reviews here is because everyone is totally sleep deprived. We were recommended the birth center(and midwives) by tons of friends and our experience totally exceeded expectations.

★★★★★ — Mandy, 2024-10

I wish I could give Mercy Birthing and Midwives 10 stars. Transferred here at 32 weeks and it was a gift to be cared for by the amazing midwives and nurses in this hospital. The four midwives, Shiam and reception and MA Beth are such professionals. My appointments were on time and I never once felt rushed.
