🌿Why Do Midwives Believe in Physiological Birth? 🌿
Because birth works — and the evidence backs it up. 📚
Midwives are trained to support the body’s natural ability to give birth, trusting the process while always keeping safety at the center.
✨ Here's why physiological birth matters:
It reduces unnecessary interventions (like inductions or C-sections).
It supports the natural hormones that power birth and bonding.
It leads to smoother recoveries and higher birth satisfaction.
It honors your emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
🌱 And here’s the key: this isn’t just philosophy. Studies consistently show that for low-risk pregnancies, letting birth unfold naturally (with skilled support) leads to better outcomes for both mom and baby.
Physiological birth doesn’t mean doing it alone — it means being supported in a way that protects your body’s natural rhythm and your autonomy.

Your body knows how to birth.
Our job is to hold space for that process. 💫

This October, we honor the strength and resilience of every mother, sister, and daughter facing breast cancer with courage. 💗
Breast cancer awareness begins with knowing your body, trusting your instincts, and leaning on your community. Stay connected with your body, keep up with routine check-ups, and be aware of your risks. 🌸

Is birthing with a birth center safe?
A freestanding birth center is a comfortable, home-like place where midwives care for low-risk clients during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Birth centers have been shown to be very safe, and at the Birth Center of Baton Rouge we take every step to ensure the safe delivery of your baby. We are nationally accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers and follow up-to-date standards of care.
At each visit we assess your health; healthy pregnancy supports a healthy birth. We take note of any risk factors that you may have and consult with our medical director. While most low-risk pregnancies go smoothly, we recognize that emergencies can happen. Our proximity to the hospital assures that the process of transferring care occurs in a streamlined and seamless way.

We’re excited to welcome Rachel as our newest student! 👩‍⚕️

Rachel Bomgaars is a student Nurse Midwife and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner from Jackson, Mississippi. She will be working with the clinical care team at the Baton Rouge Birth Center from September 10 through December 13. She brings with her extensive preparation and clinical skills training. She will be diligently integrating her knowledge and refining her skills.

Rachel has wanted to become a nurse-midwife since she was in high school. She is passionate about women’s health, providing safe and evidence-based care, and helping women and their families transition into life with a newborn.

Rachel spent ten years working as a registered nurse at Baptist Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, where she enjoyed caring for women and children. She has experience as a pediatric nurse, NICU nurse, labor and delivery nurse, and mother/baby nurse.

Rachel holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Mississippi School of Nursing and is currently enrolled in the nurse-midwifery program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. When she is not in clinic, Rachel loves to walk her dog Ralphie, travel, and spend time with her husband and four children. She also loves to host friends and family for a cookout or a board game night.

Blood pressure - let's talk about it! 🩺
We carefully check your blood pressure during pregnancy, labor, and after birth because it’s a key sign of how your heart is working. High blood pressure puts extra stress on your body and can be cause for concern.
During pregnancy, high blood pressure could lead to early delivery. It can also affect organs like your kidneys or liver and lead to a serious condition called preeclampsia, which can happen during pregnancy or shortly after birth.
If not treated, high blood pressure can cause serious problems like kidney failure, stroke, heart attack, or heart failure. That’s why it’s important to understand your blood pressure and ask questions if it becomes a concern.
By keeping an eye on it, we can help protect both you and your baby.

"I have 4 years of Labor and Delivery experience at Women's and Children's Hospital in Lafayette, LA. While working here I developed a passion for the birthing process and advocating for women. I find so much joy in bringing life into the world that I decided to pursue a Masters in Nurse-Midwifery and am currently at Loyola University New Orleans.
