🎉 One year of Alabama Birth Center — and what a year it’s been.

From our very first info session to our most recent birth, we’ve had the honor of walking alongside families through pregnancy, education, and advocacy. Here's what we’ve accomplished together:

✨ 100% vaginal birth rate (this includes ABC birth, CollabCare & non-emergent transfers)
👨‍👩‍👧 79 families served between education, testing, prenatal care & birth.
🎓 84 people attended our birth classes (that started just 8 months ago!)
🩺 92.3% consultation acceptance rate
💸 Over $36,000 in grants given through our Healthy Beginnings Fund.
🙌 1000+ Safe S*x kits created with local partners like YellowHammer Fund & ACC.
⚖️ And yes—we defended the right to birth outside the hospital and we WON.

This isn’t just a celebration of stats. It’s a celebration of you—our patients, our staff, our supporters, our community.

Here’s to year two. Let’s keep changing what’s possible. 💪💕

💙 A heartfelt THANK YOU to Walmart #332 on University Drive in Huntsville for their generous $1,000 contribution to our Healthy Beginnings Fund through the Walmart SparkGood grant! 💛

This donation directly supports families seeking care at Alabama Birth Center—especially those in maternal health care deserts who may face financial barriers to accessing quality prenatal and birth care.

🌿 What is the Healthy Beginnings Fund?
It’s our community-supported assistance fund created to help families access safe, midwifery-led care regardless of income. Whether it’s covering consultation fees, lab work, or a portion of the overall care cost, this fund makes it possible for more families to say yes to dignified, personalized care.

Together, we’re creating a stronger start for Alabama families—one healthy beginning at a time. 💫
Thank you, Walmart #332, for investing in the future of maternal health in our community!

A Beautiful and Unforgettable Welcome 🌟👶

Last week, we had the honor of supporting a truly extraordinary moment — a swift and powerful birth that unfolded just steps from our back door 🚪✨.

With the expert care of her midwifery team right by her side, this courageous mama brought her baby into the world in what’s known as a precipitous delivery — a fast, natural birth that doesn’t always wait for the perfect setting! ⏱️🌿

While she didn’t quite make it inside before baby arrived, both mom and baby were safe, healthy, and surrounded by love . They were soon settled into our peaceful, luxurious birth suite, where they rested and bonded in comfort.

This experience is a powerful reminder: birth follows its own rhythm — and when you're supported by skilled, compassionate providers in a calm environment, even the unexpected can be beautiful 💕

At Alabama Birth Center, we’re here to support every birth journey — with safety, dignity, and grace.

A Lawrence County woman welcomed her baby boy on the sidewalk, just steps from the birth center. Surrounded by love (and a little chaos), her baby boy made a fast and unforgettable entrance into the world!

Honoring Freedom. Advancing Justice. Supporting Birth Equity.

Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate Black liberation and honor the generations who fought—and continue to fight—for justice, freedom, and dignity.

As a Black-owned birth center, Alabama Birth Center is committed to being part of the solution. We exist to provide safe, respectful, and culturally competent care—especially for Black birthing people, who face disproportionately high rates of maternal and infant mortality in Alabama and across the U.S.

We are proud to stand in the gap, offering midwifery-led care that centers the voices, needs, and experiences of those most at risk—because every family deserves to be heard, respected, and safe.

Happy Father’s Day from Alabama Birth Center!

Today, we celebrate the dads who come in for prenatal appointments, who hold steady hands during labor, squeeze hips during contractions, and who wear the title of “partner” with pride and strength. Whether you're a birth partner, co-parent, bonus dad, or chosen father figure—your presence matters.

We see you pacing the halls, whispering encouragement, catching your breath at the first cry, and changing diapers like a pro. Thank you for being there in the big moments and the small ones. You are a vital part of the journey, and we’re honored to witness your love in action.

To all the incredible fathers and father figures in our ABC family—Happy Father’s Day. 💙

We’re deeply thankful to Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium for awarding Alabama Birth Center a $2,000 grant in support of our Healthy Beginnings Fund! 💗

This fund allows us to provide prenatal care, childbirth education, and essential lab work to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it—ensuring that cost is never a barrier to safe, respectful, and holistic maternity care.

Thanks to the support of the Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium, we’re able to serve more families—especially in Alabama’s maternal health deserts—and walk alongside them through one of life’s most transformative journeys.

Together, we’re creating a future where every birthing person is seen, heard, and fully supported—right from the start. 🌱✨
