We all have our own idea of what we want our birth to look like. The truth is that no one understands your body quite like you do, and you should be the one who gets to make your own decisions for everything, especially birth. If you have always dreamt of an out-of-hospital delivery but need a space to make it a reality, I would love to tell you all about the Puget Sound Birth Center. This midwife-run center works with women all across the city to give them their perfect birth story! As a Seattle newborn photographer, I have gotten the chance to connect with people who have fallen deeply in love with this center. Here’s everything you need to know!

For over 25 years, Puget Sound Birth Center has been helping parents regain control over their birth experience. This practice is operated by well-trained midwives who are passionate about what they do. They view birth as a non-emergency, giving you a comfortable space for your labor as well as all of your prenatal care. At the same time, they keep safety at the heart of their work. They only accept low-risk pregnancies and have ready access to emergency medical services should you need it at any point. With this team, you can feel confident throughout every second of your care!

With Puget Sound Birth Center, your care will start throughout the earliest weeks of pregnancy. This center offers family-focused prenatal appointments, welcoming you to bring along siblings to share the experience. Your midwife will never rush you through your visit. Instead, they are going to spend plenty of time answering your questions and providing you with the resources you need to be prepared for your delivery.
Once the contractions start, you will head to the birth center, where you will be placed in a private room. You are going to have plenty of space to move around and get through labor however you need. They have props like birth balls and stools, plus they offer tubs if you would prefer a water birth. Once your baby is born, they will give you several hours to nurse and bond before releasing you to recover in your own home.

If you decide you would prefer a home birth. Puget Sound Birth Center will still be there for you! The midwives are prepared to assist in deliveries within your house and will ensure you have everything you need for your ideal experience. Once your baby arrives, they can clean up the space while you focus on bonding with your newborn.
If you are looking for the ideal spot for your delivery, I think you are really going to adore Puget Sound Birth Center! Plan your tour so you can see for yourself!
Once you have your birthing center, it’s time to find the photographer to help you celebrate! As a Seattle newborn photographer, I love working with new parents to document this joyous season. If you would like to see if my style is a match for yours, I would love to have a conversation and tell you all about it! Send me a message today to find out more!
