Just like that I snapped out of this trance like state and looked down at my baby boy. I covered him up to keep him warm and cooed to him and let him know mama was there.

Though my Roots baby came in 2022, my story starts years earlier. I decided to pursue

out-of-hospital birth and midwifery care after reflecting on the birth of my first son, who was born

in a hospital.

The Importance of Doula Care

At Roots Community Birth Center, we want you to have a positive and supportive birth experience. That’s why we encourage our birthing parents to have a doula present for the birth of their child. You might be wondering, “What is a birth doula?” or “What does a doula do or not do?” In this blog, we'll explore a birth doula's role and answer your questions about doulas in Minneapolis. Let's dive in!

Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC)

“I cannot say enough great things about the amazing care we received at Roots Birth Center! … Our birth was amazing. I was able to labor and deliver in the tub without any interventions. The midwives were so supportive, encouraging and calm. I was treated like any other natural birth mama, which isn’t always the case with a VBAC.”

Midwifery Care

“Every midwife here is knowledgeable, professional and warm. My birth experience was the best I've had, they took the time to hear my concerns, fears and wishes beforehand and made sure things went smoothly during labor.”
