Not everyone gives birth in a birth center, and that’s okay.

Some families need hospital-based care for medical reasons.

Others plan to use pain relief or want the reassurance of a hospital setting.

You don’t have to miss the warmth, connection, and support of midwifery care. At many birth centers, you can receive full prenatal care even if you plan to give birth elsewhere.

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common bacteria, and while transmission risk is generally low, factors like multiple vaginal exams or prolonged labor with ruptured membranes can increase it. In the birth center setting, we empower you to decide on antibiotic use if GBS positive, offering alternatives to help minimize transmission risks.

For labor, wear whatever is most comfortable for you, or nothing at all; options include a robe, gown, or a sports bra with easy-to-remove bottoms.

Remember to bring comfortable clothing and snacks for fuel, focusing on simple sugars and proteins. Ultimately, the goal is for you to feel at ease and well-nourished throughout the process.

Pregnancy is full of amazing moments, but let’s be real. It’s not always easy on your body. As your baby grows, your back, hips, and legs often carry the weight of all that change.

It helps your body stay aligned and feel more comfortable as you prepare for delivery day.

At Birth Center Stone Oak in San Antonio, birth is not just a medical event. It is a transition. While we support natural labor, we also prepare for every stage. The birth cart is part of that preparation.

The birth cart is brought out during active labor, often when delivery is near. Its presence does not mean there is an emergency. It means everything is ready. With the cart nearby, the focus stays on the mother. There is no need to look for supplies or leave the room. The cart brings calm and confidence to the space.
