Powerful Birth Stories Across Colorado

This third birth was a wild card (like so many third births are…) and to be perfectly honest, I almost missed it! After we all thought labor had stalled, I decided to run home to grab some breakfast and coffee because we happened to only live about 5 minutes away. I was just about to turn onto my street when I got a call: “You need to come back…she’s pushing!” My heart didn’t stop pounding until I ran upstairs and found my sweet client working so hard in the birth tub. About 15 minutes later…her baby was born.

OBs sometimes get a bad rep in the natural birth community, but the reality is that many of them truly want to help women have safe and happy pregnancies and births. And for some people…having a skilled OB can be life-saving.

I put together this list based on personal experience with OBs in Denver, client recommendations, and community feedback. I would LOVE to hear any thoughts or comments if you’ve had a great experience with an obstetrician in the Denver area. I hope this list continues to grow!

We are lucky to have 4 exceptional birth centers in the Denver/Boulder metro area. I’ve worked at all four many times over the last ten years, and I’ve formed close relationships with the midwives and staff. These birth centers are different in some ways, but they all share the same goal: increasing access to safer, gentler, family-centered community birth.
