History
The Corpus Christi Birth Center was opened in May of 2012. It is the first and only free-standing birth facility in the greater Corpus Christi area. The birth center's first location was in a small historic home on Santa Fe. But we quickly outgrew that location and moved to our current location on Ayers Street, between 6-points and Christus Spohn Hospital on Shoreline. In 2017, we opened a separate prenatal and business office on Reid Drive about a mile from the birthing center. Our new prenatal office allowed us to add a third birthing suite to the birth center and also gives laboring mothers more privacy while expanding what we can offer to our patients. We now hold regular classes at the office location teaching everything from nutrition preparation for labor and birth.
Specialties
The Corpus Christi Birth Center midwives offer full prenatal care, labor and birth, postpartum and newborn care. We specialize in natural childbirth for low risk women with water birth or home birth as some of the birth options. We provide a free risk assessment and physician referrals as needed. Call us for a free consultation. We would love to give you a tour of our lovely birth center and discuss your birth plans with you. Let us show you the advantages we can offer you. We accept private insurance and some Medicaid patients, too. We also have low monthly payment plans for those using self-pay and discounts for those who need help but perhaps don't have Medicaid coverage. Whatever your plan, the out-of pocket cost is usually much less than a planned hospital delivery but you will get so much more personalized care and birthing options with your own personal team of midwives to assist you and care for you.
