The Birthing Inn Story
The Birthing Inn is Tacoma’s only freestanding birth center! We practice a family-centered, holistic, alternative approach to birth care. Each of our three lovely birth suites is well-equipped for a variety of natural childbirth options, including water birth, and ready for you and your baby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Since opening our doors in 1999, The Birthing Inn has welcomed nearly 3,000 beautiful new babies into warm, cozy, and peaceful surroundings. At our natural birth center, birth experiences are tailoredfor each laboring woman, so every baby has the benefit of a gentle beginning.
Natural childbirth can take a variety of forms, and The Birthing Inn stands ready to support your ideal birth, whatever that may look like. We offer large soaking tubs for water births, a selection of birth stools, and many other options for the emotional and physical support of each of our laboring clients. In addition, TBI is so grateful that St Joseph’s Medical Center and Tacoma General are just down the road when we need them.
Out-of-hospital natural Births are Safe. Here’s why:
It’s very important that each family gathers information and makes the best choice for their pregnancy care and birth space. Women will give birth the most effectively where they feel the safest, and for many women this means being outside of the hospital birthing environment. If The Birthing Inn’s freestanding natural birth center is your safe birthplace, we want to make sure your family has up-to-date information to allow the most supportive environment. Below are a few resources to help our clients and their families understand why the Midwifery Model of Care and choosing a birth in a freestanding natural birth center may be the best choice for them.
Are you a family member having a hard time understanding why someone you love would want to have an out of hospital birth? The documentary “The Business of Being Born” provides an excellent overview and comparison look at hospital versus out of hospital birth. The movie is available for purchase on iTunes, on DVD, streaming on Netflix, and available for checkout at most local libraries. You can learn more about this film here!
