A Sacred Space for Birthing Families
The Birth Center of Baton Rouge developed from Dr. Ryan Dickerson’s desire to help the women in Baton Rouge to achieve their best birth in a safe and home-like setting. Delivering at our birth center means that we encourage you as your labor and birth unfold and progress on its own, without medical interventions. With the midwifery model we are able to provide personalized care including: 24 hour access to a midwife, a health assessment at each visit, childbirth classes, labor support with a midwife and nurse in attendance, postpartum home visits, and other unique services for our families.
Meet the Midwives
Our client-centered care allows our families to spend as much time as needed to have questions answered in order for you to enter your childbirth experience with confidence. Midwives have specialized training in providing compassionate care based on your wishes for your birth. Our policies and procedures assure that stringent guidelines for safety are met and evidence based care is practiced.
