Thank you so much for listening to today's episode, we are talking about what it is like to give birth in a free standing birth center. I interviewed Vanessa Treaster, a midwife at the Atlanta Birth Center. Vanessa is a mom of two in addition to being a midwife. I had my second baby at the Atlanta Birth Center, which I have talked about a lot in previous episodes. In this episode, Vanessa talks about how free standing birth centers differ from hospital maternity units and I add a little bit about my experience as a patient at a birth center. I hope you enjoy the episode!

In this episode we discuss:

  • Wwhat is the typical prenatal appointment structure like at a birth center 
  • How is this different from a typical OBGYN 
    • group classes
    • nutrition review 
  • What typically happens when a birthing person goes into labor
