Weclome to the Brooklyn Birthing Center

The Brooklyn Birthing Center understands that birth is most often a normal event. In the absence of complications, your birth will be as you wish it!

The atmosphere at the Birth Center is calm and soothing. There are no beeping machines, bright lights, loud paging of personnel over the intercom or intrusions of different personnel urging you to remain in bed.

Best of all…your baby remains with you for your entire stay.

We want to sincerely thank you all for the assistance with our lovely birth.  It was a pleasant experience for us both.  A natural, unmedicated birth is what we wanted and we were able to do it with your help.

My husband and I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful service of the Brooklyn Birthing Center.  We only originally explored an out-of-hospital birth as a means of just getting more information.  But right from your orientation and all throughout our appointments at the birthing center, we never had doubts about our decision to birth there.  We are grateful for the tremendous amounts of information given to us and how all our questions were treated seriously and answered.  When my labor began, Asya was extremely helpful and patient speaking over the phone with me (numerous times as I had a very slow labor) and knew just the right time to advise us to come in to the birthing center.  Once there, Yuliya set a very calm tone for my husband and I and saw us through each step of my labor.  The birthing assistants Eva and Kandia were at my side through all my contractions later in labor and after the birth. Kandia's "magic hands" truly were magic while I was in the tub as she massaged my back with each contraction. Asya guided me when it was time to push with very clear instructions which I greatly appreciate.  And then we got to meet our daughter!  Many say they can't recall the details of their labor and birthing, but I'm happy to remember all the details, even the uncomfortable ones, and that's because of the Brooklyn Birthing Center and its staff! Thank you! Laura, Colin, and Aoife (born 6/18/09)
