Our Services
Prenatal Care
Tender Gifts Birth Center provides complete prenatal care throughout your pregnancy. Midwifery care is about trust and relationship and studies show that the more you know and trust your midwife, the safer the outcome for mother and baby.
Labor + Birth
At your birth you will be supported by Certified Professional Midwives, Certified Nurse Midwives, trained birth assistants and midwifery students. Whether you choose your home or the birth center we will we be with you every step of the way!
Postpartum
Once baby is born, the family will have time to quietly and privately bond with your baby. Once you are ready your midwife will give the newborn a thorough head-to-toe examination, weigh and measure baby, and monitor vital signs.
