Water births
Benefits for Mother & Baby
Warm water is soothing, comforting, and relaxing. Parents are not stressed or worried about their surroundings. In the later stages of labor, the water has been shown to increase the woman’s energy. The effect of buoyancy lessens a mother’s body weight, allowing free movement and new positioning. Buoyancy promotes more efficient uterine contractions and improved blood circulation resulting in better oxygenation of the uterine muscles, less discomfort for the mother, and more oxygen for the baby. Immersion in water often helps lower high blood pressure caused by anxiety. Since the water provides a greater sense of privacy, it can reduce inhibitions, anxiety, and fears.
For the baby, the water provides an environment similar to the amniotic sac. Eases the stress of the birth transition thus increasing reassurance and a sense of security. Entering the World with calm and tenderness.
Every birth worker at HSPBC is “waterbirth” experienced.
VBAC in Hospital
Our wonderful Medical Director has been helping women with Successful VBACs for years! If cleared, you can see the midwives throughout pregnancy, and birth across the street with our Doctor who is patient and cares!
Medical Care
Medical Care Is Minutes Away
Holistic South is the ONLY Florida Birth Center located directly across the street from a hospital, Jackson South Hospital for safety. This is important for the back up safety of our mothers and babies. Our birth center is under the direction of our Medical Director OB/GYN.
Most families have some concerns about the “What ifs” so we have taken the safety measure out and still have the beautiful space for mothers to labor with love and tranquility. Our hospital is friendly to our mothers, and with our birth-friendly physician that “continuity of care” is very important when necessary. Our medical backup ob/gyn is available for medical assistance at the hospital. This is important in case mom or baby needs assistance. A car ride is not okay, and our continuity of care is there for you!
Guided by Midwives
Midwives who work with HSPBC are trained in Holistic care! They guide rather than direct and allow for mothers to experience their own feelings throughout the birth process. Mothers do not need to “learn how to birth” as it is instinctual. Your birth workers are attending, assisting, and monitoring with close mother-baby observation together with suggestions if and when needed.
We do Compassion, We do Patience, We do Love!
At Holistic South Pregnancy & Birth Center, our families choose a safe out-of-hospital natural birth experience. Come in and enjoy a peaceful pregnancy and loving birth.
Women have been birthing for thousands of years! Trust birth, we do.

Dear Debra!!
Our baby Teo is born! I was in labor for a bit more than 30 hours. It was intense, sometimes I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it, but we did!!!! Surges started on Monday, Dec. 29th at 11 pm and baby Teo was born today at 5.30 am Dec. 30th, 2014!
I’m so so so happy with my happy and healthy baby! 7.2 pounds 🙂 Also he’s breastfeeding great! Thank you so much for your amazing help and teachings! You really made a difference in my life. You made my pregnancy even more beautiful than it already was. Thank you so much!Suzanne Arms
"If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where out deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation, or love and trust.”Follow HSPBC to keep up with our community
