We are excited to share that the Louisiana Dept of Health has removed some restrictions on birth centers in our state in order to make birth center care more accessible to the community.
1. If you take a prescribed SSRI medication, you may continue taking the medication throughout pregnancy and birth and remain in birth center care.
2. If this is your first pregnancy and you are > 40 years old, you may receive birth center care.
3. If you have had a previous cesarean section, you may receive prenatal and postpartum care at a birth center with a planned hospital birth.
We look forward to serving these women and families in our community. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions!

The umbilical cord continues to provide oxygen-rich blood and essential nutrients to your baby even after birth. It’s a remarkable structure that contains three vessels: two arteries and one vein. The vein delivers oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to your baby, while the arteries carry waste away.

Because of this, many providers practice delayed cord clamping (waiting before clamping) to allow your baby to receive this final transfer of blood, supporting iron levels, circulation, and a smoother transition to life outside the womb. 🤱

This simple, evidence-based practice can have lasting benefits for your baby’s development. ✨

Why are birth center appointments longer?
At our birth center, prenatal visits are designed to give you time, education, and personalized care, not just a quick check-in.
🌿 We take time to talk about your physical health, nutrition, lifestyle, mental wellbeing, and birth goals
📚 Appointments include space to ask questions and learn about pregnancy, labor, birth options, and postpartum recovery so you feel confident and informed
🤝 Longer visits allow you to truly get to know your midwife, building trust and support throughout pregnancy.
Because pregnancy care shouldn’t feel rushed — it should feel supported, informed, and centered around you 💙
