You choose: Birth in Your Home or at one of the Kindred Space Birth Centers 

Clients receive inclusive care with complete prenatal support, including screening and lab work. The prenatal visits make time and space for the physical, emotional and practical preparation for birth and life with a newborn. Every prenatal and postpartum visit is an opportunity to connect and assess the total health including the client's physical and emotional state along with a gentle hands-on check-in with the baby. The entire family is welcome to participate in these visits and to be involved with the yet-to-be-born newest family member. In a truly supportive environment, you will learn about normal pregnancy and birth with an additional focus on the importance of nutrition and optimal health as you enter this life transition.

The midwifery team is on call for the client in the weeks leading up to and after the estimated due date. When the birthing day arrives, the midwives are prepared with necessary equipment to blend the mystical and medical to hold space for a safe birth. Clients are encouraged to do whatever works for them including eating, drinking, moving, resting, walking, squatting and being in water.
