Our birth centre is a safe, home-like place where you can give birth in private and intimate surroundings, with your loved ones present with you, and wiith more control and freedom to choose how you want to birth.

The Philosophy of the Launceston Birth Centre:

• encourages a woman-centred approach to birthing
• regards pregnancy and childbirth as a natural physiological process not illness
• acknowledges the social, cultural, physiological factors influencing childbirth
• advocates midwives as the primary caregivers of women in normal birth
• emphasizes women’s rights to make informed choices about their caregivers and place of birth.
• allows women to change their minds
• maintains mother/baby bonding.
