Explore Your Birth Options at Born Midwifery
Every labor is different, and there isn't just one way to approach birth. At our Wichita birth center, we support eligible families with options designed to help them feel comfortable, informed, and involved.
WATER BIRTH AND HYDROTHERAPY
Warm water can be a comforting tool during labor, helping you relax between contractions and find positions that feel more comfortable. Our birth suite includes a birthing tub for hydrotherapy, with water birth available for eligible clients who choose this option.
Your midwives will discuss water birth with you during prenatal care and help you understand whether it's appropriate for your individual circumstances.
NATURAL BIRTH AND COMFORT MEASURES
If you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, our midwives can support you with a variety of natural comfort measures. These may include movement, position changes, birth balls, massage, counterpressure, warm compresses, breathing techniques, and hydrotherapy.
You'll have the freedom to explore different approaches throughout labor, with guidance and support from your birth team.
MONITORING AND SUPPORT DURING LABOR
Your well-being and your baby's health remain central throughout labor. Our midwives use intermittent fetal monitoring and ongoing assessments to monitor your progress and respond to your needs.
When appropriate, you'll be able to move freely, change positions, and eat and drink according to your care plan and your midwife's guidance.
Birth Center Safety and Our Hospital Transfer Plan

Born Midwifery is a state-licensed, freestanding birth center designed for healthy, low-risk pregnancies. Our midwives monitor you and your baby, assess your progress, and are trained to recognize when a different level of care may be needed.

We'll discuss eligibility, safety considerations, and possible transfer scenarios with you during prenatal care so you can make an informed decision about where to give birth.
What to Pack for Your Birth Center Stay
Preparing your birth center bag ahead of time can help you feel ready when labor begins. Pack comfortable clothing, toiletries, going-home outfits for you and your baby, and any personal items that will help you feel at ease.
You may also want to bring snacks and drinks for your support people, phone chargers, and other familiar comforts. Have your infant car seat installed before birth, too.
