Where to find Pacifica Family Birth Center
What parents say
This was my first pregnancy and I kept saying to my husband, “I just want a medical professional that knows me, my pregnancy, that I can trust and that will help me navigate the unknown of birth by offering natural solutions and methods before jumping first to medical intervention.
My husband and I agree that discovering Pacifica and deciding to receive care and give birth here was the best decision of my life. I gave birth naturally to healthy baby all thanks to the amazing team of midwives and student midwives.
Our family loved the experience of caring for my pregnancy and childbirth with the team and at this space at Pacifica. Through pregnancy we had an extraordinary care experience. The prenatal classes and individual midwife care were more than what we dreamed for.
Wow, they are awesome! My wife wanted to have natural childbirth. She didn't want to give birth in a hospital, but was not ready for a home birth either. We ended up with Pacifica Maternity Center. They were honestly attentive, careful, sounded most understanding, experienced and trustworthy.
