Home Birth

At the Ventura Birth Center, we offer women the choice of either giving birth at the birth center or at home.

Giving birth in your own home can be a very wonderful experience. The many advantages of giving birth at home include feeling comfortable in your own environment, not having to travel to another location to give birth, controlling who comes in and out of your home during your labor, being able to create your own surroundings, lower cesarean rates, freedom of movement in your own home, being able to eat and drink freely and having a family centered environment.

At home you also have the option of water birth by use of either your own tub or rental/purchase of a birth tub.
