Burr Ridge Birth Center

It’s an immense honor each time a family chooses our team to care for them. And this couldn’t be more true when it comes to our dear client Madelynn and her husband Parker.

Thank you for choosing us!

And a big congratulations on the birth of baby Kristofferson. Such a beautiful bundle of joy and cuteness.

It’s with great pride that we congratulate our dear client Sarah .rd on the birth of her baby boy!

“I can officially say that a birth center has proven to me that there’s nothing in life I can’t do. I met myself in so many forms on that journey and went to depths of myself I didn’t know existed.

I’m fiercer than ever yet simultaneously a little softer. I’m stronger than I realized yet this little boy makes me weak in the knees. I’m in awe of my body yet I knew she could do exactly what was asked of her.

I’ve never loved anything as much as I love being a mom to him. If I liked being a dietitian and a successful career, being a mom is something my soul was literally way more designed to do.

Q&A Questions I recieved:

What are you loving about being a mom?
Everything. And I feel like I can say that because I loved so many other things before becoming a mom. I spent so much time alone, being comfortable with myself, traveling, therapy, learning who my true friends are, and all the experiences that lead me up to this point. Motherhood is a massive change. And it’s not easy, but worth it.

At any point did you want to give up going unmedicated?
No, because the only way out is through. I didn’t want to be in a hospital. Also the fact that I am so close to meeting my baby is motivation to push through any amount of pain. I also did a course on mindset for birth and heard many doulas/ midwives say that usually when you think you can’t anymore, that means baby is about to come.

I feel like unmedicated made my birth shorter and let me bounce back quicker.

I do think I had the perfect mix of doula and midwife support to really push me.”

Burr Ridge Birth Center is searching for a FULL-TIME Certified Nurse Midwife who is passionate about evidence-based midwifery, trauma-informed care, informed choice, and fostering health equity.
