Located in the Midwood neighborhood, Brooklyn Birthing Center (BBC) is the only licensed, freestanding birthing center in New York City. The midwifery led birth centers offer high-quality, family-centered care, allowing healthy women the freedom and flexibility to have their unmedicated birth in a calm, home-like environment. The birth center is a member of the American Association of Birth Centers. For more information about this rigorous marker of quality, see here.
Brooklyn Birthing Center is staffed by the Brooklyn Midwifery Group. Our experienced, licensed and board-certified midwives are deeply committed to supporting and empowering clients and their families. In addition to prenatal care, our midwives offer annual exams, family planning services, and BRCA testing (which assesses the genetic risk for breast, ovarian, and colon cancer).
