Birthing Choices: Birth Settings

Hospitals

Hospitals across Tennessee provide family-centered maternity care with private rooms designed for labor, delivery, and recovery. These facilities offer high-quality, compassionate care with access to advanced medical support if needed. Many hospitals also provide lactation consultants, childbirth classes, and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) for high-risk births.

Birth Centers

Birth centers in Tennessee offer a home-like, low-intervention environment for childbirth, typically attended by certified nurse-midwives. These centers focus on natural birth options and provide personalized prenatal and postpartum care. An example is Baby+Company Birth Center in Nashville (note: always confirm current operational status). Learn more about birth centers at the American Association of Birth Centers (AABC).

Home Births

Licensed midwives across Tennessee offer home birth options for families seeking a private, familiar setting for childbirth. Home births are supported by certified professionals trained in managing low-risk pregnancies and ensuring safety. You can find licensed midwives through the Tennessee Midwives Association
