California Birth Center

There is no bigger moment in life than when we are creating or (adding to a) family. Finding a way to create personalized care during this period is paramount. The California Birthing Center exists for expecting mothers who would prefer not to have a cookie-cutter approach to something as critical as childbirth. If you are reading this review then you are probably already on the fence about taking your birth to an industrialized hospital; just call the number listed here and you won't regret it.

Absolutely loved working with the midwives at the California Birth Center for all my prenatal & postpartum care (unfortunately had to be admitted to the hospital for the actual birth so can't speak to that). We moved to the area about half way through my pregnancy and that's when I started seeing the midwives at the CA Birth Center. They were very professional and also kind & supportive at every appointment. They always have midwives on call 24/7 and they have a number you can call or text if needed which was super helpful and they were always quick to respond (loved that I could text instead of call). I also am overweight and unlike the OB I was seeing prior to moving they never shamed me for my weight & didn't encourage me to diet (restricting calories/starving myself and limiting my nutrition was something I was strongly against during my pregnancy). Overall just treated me as any other patient (as it should be). Postpartum I love that the first couple visits them came to our house instead of having to make our way out of the house sleep deprived with a newborn right away. Also love that they do multiple appointments postpartum instead of just one 6 week check up. Also convenient that they check you out and the baby at the same time each appointment. They were also so much more helpful with our first time parent questions (such as basic care like how to help with diaper rash, nail trimming, etc) and with things like helping explain how to make sure the baby is in the car seat properly. We ended up having to see a pediatrician as well the 1st week postpartum cause our baby had to go to the nicu for a couple days after being born and the pediatrician wouldn't answer a single question like that - told us we just had to figure it out ourselves. Highly recommend the CA Birth Center!

Went to CA Birth Center from 12 weeks of pregnancy until I gave birth to my daughter July 2022. Was my first child, they were kind, respectful, sincere to prior traumas, empathetic, encouraging and up-lifting. Was a great community to be apart of during pregnancy and post-partum. Empowering to learn about birth from a different perspective outside of the new "normal" hospital birth. Couldn't be more happy with the services provided, from the staff, to the billing, communication, the course, and even the snacks in the fridge ;)

I love california birth center! Switching and giving birth there was the best decision I could of made for my pregnancy and labor experience. They really take time with you at each appointment to help you have the best pregnancy and to be prepared for birth. The classes were all great! My birth was so peaceful, empowering, and an all around incredible experience. The post partum support they provide is unlike anything you will get from an OB or hospital, and i was so grateful for it. I highly recommend the California birth center. Their staff are experienced, educated and have so much knowledge to share. They are supportive in helping you feel your best, preparing for and having the birth you want, and are so kind. Im so grateful for the care I received, and for the best birth experience they helped me achieve!

Having attended a major Sacramento hospital for my first 5 months of pregnancy, their obtrude nature left me feeling scared, unsupported, unprepared, and treated like just a number. It forced me to start doing my own research, and find the California Birth Center. I cannot recommend them enough! Their level of care, attentiveness, support, and just their overall method is everything I could have ever hoped and dreamed of and much, much more. This is what pregnancy is supposed to be about. They truly changed my life, my babys life, and the way my family looks at pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. From hour long appointments with midwives who truly cared, their online course to give me the knowledge and support I craved, in person courses to prepare my partner and I, and the way they cared for my family and I through the FOURTH trimester. They even came to my home the day after I gave birth for our first checkup. Truly magical, and lets not forget the facility itself. The most serene and magical place of all. I find myself looking for reasons to stop in, say hello, and grab some supplements. On top of it all, they provide you with a community and postpartum resources and support AFTER you give birth. Rather than pregnancy and birth being a scary medical event, they empowered me to trust my body, my baby, and write my own birth story. Dont walk, RUN and have your beautiful baby here. You will not regret it.
