Birthing Center Of Ny

I just gave birth today the the BBC, for the second time. After 2 hospital births, I decided to leave the heavily medicalized environment for a more natural, more physiological experience. I CANNOT express how much I adore giving birth at the BBC. There simply are no words. I was surrounded with love, patience, so much support and guidance, everything was just on point. I could hang out with these women every day, all of them are absolutely amazing. Nurse Caroline was there for both births, at this point she's family. Seeing her enter the room today was such an emotional moment for me, I will never forget, as I said while in labor she's my hero. Umeimah was my captain, and such a respectful midwife, she guided me and let me be, trusted me, the perfect balance that I needed. The birth assistant AJ was just the touch of sweetness and love I needed, it was like having a friend, a sister always having my back. And then Nicole called a couple hours after the birth to check in on me, which was so nice. I could go on. I am forever grateful to the BBC, I hope G.d blesses you all and your family for the outstanding job you do every day. NB : I am going to need the group picture we took today ! I'll be reaching out ❤️❤️

I had my first baby in a hospital and my second at this birth center, and the experience here was a night-and-day difference. I delivered with midwife Uma and RN Banks, who were both incredible. My labor was short and intense—I arrived at 5 cm and my baby was born just two hours later. The room itself immediately helped me settle: a large bed, low lighting, tea lights, and no IVs or monitors. Not feeling hooked up to anything made a huge difference for me, especially since I don’t love hospital settings. I was able to labor with my husband and doula, and when it was time to push, Uma and Banks came in and calmly coached me through it. After birth, my husband and I got to stay in bed with our baby and just be together in peace, and then go home and sleep in our own bed. That alone made the postpartum experience so much easier and less stressful. I’m deeply grateful for the care I received!! XOXO
