About The Birthing Inn

The Birthing Inn was founded in 1999 as a safe space where parents could take back control of their labor. The practice is the only freestanding birth center in Tacoma. It’s beautifully decorated with large beds, warm birthing tubs, and plenty of room both inside and outside to move around. Midwives who are well-trained and experienced run the center. 

Since opening its doors, the center has been the site of over 3,000 births. It’s just down the road from two hospitals to give you immediate help should you need to be transferred. You can visit it at 6002 Westgate Blvd. Suite 120 in Tacoma.

Services

The Birthing Inn has the midwives listed on their site, so you can browse and find the team that looks right for you! You’ll schedule a meet-and-greet before proceeding with your care. You’ll have regular appointments with your midwife just like you would with an OB. Your midwife will take the time during each appointment to address all your questions and concerns. 

During your labor, your midwife will honor your birth plan as much as possible. You’ll be able to move around, eat snacks, and work through the contractions however you see fit. The center is designed for maximum comfort, and the large tubs are the perfect place to work through contractions. 

Once your baby is born, the center will keep you for several hours so you can bond while they make sure your vitals are stable. Once they’re positive you and your baby are in the clear, you’ll be sent home to recover.
