Where to find Ochsner Perkin Alternative Birthing Center
What parents say
The midwifes here were wonderful! They excelled at explaining everything and answering all questions.
The Ochsner midwives and staff are a blessing from God. I wish I could give these ladies more than 5 stars. I had 2 pregnancies with the Alternative Birthing Center. The first pregnancy, my baby was breached and my water bag ruptured so I had to have a C-section.
I had my son at the age of 45, and I did not think that I could receive care from midwives due to my age and my weight. Thankfully, I decided to reach out and they accepted me. I received excellent prenatal care, and I have a healthy, happy boy.
I had a very positive experience with the midwife group for my delivery. I transferred care to this group from my beloved OB late in pregnancy in hopes of delivering at the Alternative Birthing Center.
