Carolina WaterBirth

Carolina WaterBirth Carolina WaterBirth is the practice of Sandy Glenn, Licensed Midwife. We deliver at Carolina Birth Center in Greenville, SC. We Believe in Birth. Your Birth!
(1)

Independent Midwifery offers Birth Center, Home Birth, Natural Birth, Birth Classes, & VBAC resources. We Believe in You. Are you looking for a gentle and supported birth? This is more than a place to have a baby, this is a place to have a good birth. Your Baby’s Birth! Being independent means that although we might consult with physicians, we are not owned, employed, or supervised by physicians or a hospital. Our cesarean sections rates are very low (usually under 7%), our breastfeeding success rate is over 90%. We do no episiotomies and you'll get hours of bonding time with your baby. That's what it means to use a Freestanding Birth Center and a Licensed Midwife. Carolina WaterBirth provides care at homes throughout the entire Upstate and at our freestanding birthing center, Carolina Birth Center, LLC with Licensed Midwives and a physician. We help you have the birth you and your baby deserve. As natural birth midwives, we support you through every step of your pregnancy and birth. Excellent prenatal care, education, preventative care and attentive care providers come together for your big day. Hospitals have started to add tubs and claim to be promoting a natural birth experience, but without the overall support, their births are less than desirable. Overworked staff, hospital procedures, IV’s, incubators and infant test do not yield the same results as a freestanding birth center. They have high cesarean and epidural rates (despite the added tubs.) To have a gentle birth, you’ll need quiet, privacy, dim lighting and peace. Your baby needs to be handled with soft hands and respected as a new person. You and your baby should be together at all times and helped to breastfeed immediately. Don’t be fooled by imitation birthing rooms. Carolina WaterBirth is the place to have Your Birth. www.CarolinaWaterBirth.com

Every great story has a beginning—and for so many of us, a midwife was there to catch it. But the future of midwifery in our state depends on our voices today. We’re heading to the Statehouse for 'Protect the Hands that Caught You' to ensure every family has the right to safe, respectful care. We caught our babies; now let’s catch the attention of our lawmakers. See you there?
Midwives have been ARRESTED. Licenses have been Suspended or Revoked: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18NPySAUKm/

Save the date! Come join us April 15th!
This is the opportunity to let our representatives know that citizens in South Carolina stand with Midwives and WANT midwifery care.

Midwifery care in South Carolina is under attack. ⚖️
The state is currently bypassing legal due process to treat licensed midwives as "unlicensed doctors," even when following safety protocols. From "punishment by process" to the weaponization of natural outcomes, the right to choose how and where you give birth is being threatened.
Read the full breakdown of how these legal shifts affect your family’s birth options and how you can take action. 👇
