If you are a client of Frisco Birth Center, your midwife will bring the birth pool to you at your home visit, and pick it up after the birth.
If you are a client of another midwife or birth center, you may take possession (pick up or deliver) at 37-weeks and keep it until 48-hours after birth.
We have a limited number of pools. Reserve yours today.

Questions about Safety and Complications
-
In short: Yes. Research shows that healthy, low risk women have the same – or even better outcomes - when they birth in their home or in a birth center than if they birth in the hospital. Your safety is our priority. Safety is supported by risk assessments incorporated into each prenatal appointment, referrals or transfer of care when needed, and continuous care during labor, birth and the immediate postpartum period. We practice “evidence based care” meaning we do not offer services that increase your risk of complications, and we do offer holistic care that increases your health. For example, we include nutritional support, exercise and natural resources into your care. We do not do things that evidence shows increases risk, including inductions, continuous fetal monitoring, or medications. The Midwife Alliance of North America has created this resource that you and your family may find helpful when you are learning about the safety of Community Based Birth.

We believe Vaginal Birth After Cesarean should always be the first choice unless there is a clear, strong, medical reason that it’s less safe. But, for a variety of reasons, we aren’t able to provide that care.
Unfortunately, are not close enough to a VBAC supportive hospital. The delay to care, and the potential hostility of the receiving provider is not in your best interest.But, we work with a few great midwives who can support VBAC. Our first recommendation is that you birth with a midwife who is close to Baylor University Medical Center - like Amy Tate at Swiss Avenue Midwifery. That puts you in the closest proximity to the best hospital in the city if you need a transfer.
Another idea is to birth with a Nurse Midwife who has hospital privileges. We love Midwife + Co, Plano Birth Place and Diana Health at Presby Allen.
In the meantime, check out the resources to help you make an informed choice.

Our top priority is your safety.
We are trained to detect and manage most challenges that can arise in labor and birth.
We carry medical equipment and medications in addition to the more traditional tools of classical midwifery.
We have oxygen, IV fluids and medications for hemorrhage and other complications.
In the course of labor, if it becomes clear that either the baby or the mother would benefit from a higher level of care than we can provide, we will quickly and efficiently arrange a transfer of care to one of the hospitals and physicians with whom we have a working relationship.
In those rare situations where a transfer becomes necessary, we continue to actively provide care in a support role until the birth.
And, when appropriate, we resume your care at your home or our birth center through the 6 weeks following your birth
We see hospital transfers as just a change of venue. It doesn't disrupt our midwifery relationship. We continue to support you in the ways we can within our scope until you return to our care.

Once you become our client, we provide all of your prenatal care on basically the same schedule as your Ob/Gyn did.
Unless something comes up that we need to consult with a doctor about, we provide all of your care.We also consult with physicians if something more complex comes up in your health.
But, if you are the typical, healthy mom with a healthy baby, you don’t need to see anyone else
-
As long as you are a low-risk, healthy woman, with a healthy baby, and we can get your medical records for care you received in your pregnancy, we will consider accepting you into care, even late in the pregnancy.
If you come to us late in care, we will help you arrange financing and payment plans to make it financially affordable.
We ideally would like to see you more often to help build more of a connection if we have a shorter time to get to know you
