Choosing a birth center in New Jersey

Start with a tour — nearly every center offers one, and it tells you more in an hour than any website. Ask which hospital they transfer to and how far it is, who attends births and what credentials they hold (CNM and CPM are the ones you'll hear most), what their eligibility criteria are, and whether they're CABC-accredited — the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers is the gold standard for freestanding centers, and it's a fair question to ask any of them. On money: ask what the fee covers and confirm your insurance or Medicaid coverage directly with the center and your plan before you commit.

If the nearest center looks far, check anyway — birth-center clients often drive further than you'd expect for prenatal visits, and some midwife practices listed here serve families across a wide region. Distance to the center, and from the center to its transfer hospital, are both worth mapping before you decide.
