Maritza’s Birth Story

The experience at the birth center was so inclusive, especially with my husband. From the moment we got there, they asked him how involved he wanted to be — whether he just wanted to watch, be hands-on, or even be in the tub with me. It made such a difference to have him right there, fully included, which wouldn’t have happened at a hospital. It strengthened our bond because there wasn’t a room full of people taking over.

I feel so much more empowered after giving birth at the birth center. They taught me how to advocate for myself. When I was seeing an OB, I never really spoke up. I didn’t want to upset her or damage the relationship we had built. But here, Loretta made it clear that it was my birth plan, and they were there to make it happen exactly how I wanted.

Everyone is so scared to speak up for themselves during birth, especially if it’s their first time. I was scared too — I didn’t know how to ask the right questions or advocate for what I wanted. But after getting a tour of the birth center, I felt so much more secure. I could ask questions without fear of being turned down, and they made me feel safe.

Looking back, I know this was the best decision I could’ve made. Moving forward, I have a much better mentality about what I want for future births. If we have baby number two, there’s no question — we’re coming back to the birth center.
