Austin Area Birthing Center has been helping Austin moms give birth with midwives since 1987. Three decades later, their North and South locations’ birthing rooms are equipped with tubs, stand-up showers, and stockpiles of birthing tools such as stools, bungee-style cords, and yoga balls of all sizes. The largest Texas employer of midwives with master’s degrees, AABC prioritizes immediate skin-to-skin contact between mom and baby. The team also offers mother-focused aftercare in the days and weeks following birth.
