Allen Midwifery & Family Wellness at Allen Birthing Center - Allen, Texas

I loved having my baby at the Allen Birthing center.

The midwives were so helpful. They answered all my first time mom questions. They did all the normal blood work and tests I would have gotten done at a doctors office.

I also loved that I was able to have an unmedicated birth. They worked with me during the labor process. They helped me try different positions and supported me well during the birth.

I definitely would recommend them to anyone wanting to have a natural birth and great supportive care.

My experience at this Birth center has been incredible. You are given options and great recommendations, resources and care. From my first appointment by 10 weeks pregnant till now, postpartum, I know I made the right choice by choosing to get all my prenatal care and birthing here. I know who to call when I want to grow my family even more. Courtney, Alexis, Lauren, Liz and Ariel are all amazing at what they do here. Thank you so much for encouraging me and giving me more than I can ask for through this entire experience! ?

I had a wonderful experience at Allen Birth Center with the birth of my son. All the midwives and staff were professional and knowledgeable. I felt at ease from prenatal care to labor and delivery to postpartum. I felt heard and was informed of my choices at every step of the way. I highly recommend Allen Midwifery & Family Wellness for general women’s health, prenatal care and beyond.

We cannot say enough great things about Allen Midwifery! The staff are all extremely caring, knowledgable, and professional, and are there for you every step of the way.

Courtney rushed to the hospital very early in the morning to deliver our baby and we are so grateful to her for her guidance, support, understanding, and cheerful demeanor.

We will definitely return for future pregnancies!

This center isn’t just for birthing babies they also take care of post menopausal women! I’m 50yrs old and I had my well woman visit here with Amy, she is very kind and knowledgeable about the female body. She went over my blood work and gave me advice that has made a positive impact upon my health! She spent a lot of time carefully going over all of my labs. I’d highly recommend women of all ages to get their well woman exams done here.

I imagine I have a unique experience with this office, as I had experienced their care both in the center and at the hospital. I was able to have a beautiful and peaceful birth experience at the birthing center, thanks to the support and guidance of the wonderful midwives. Then, due to unavoidable complications with bleeding shortly after birth, I was transfered to the hospital under Lauren's care. upon arriving at the hospital, I had to go into surgery. Having Lauren there was a huge comfort, and after surgery, my family and I were told by the staff, including the attending physician, that Lauren's determination and medical expertise was the main reason I did not need an emergency hysterectomy. In the context of the birth center birth, I am so grateful for the serenity I was provided throughout the experience, and the emotional support and helpful options I was given during the moments I was struggling. In the hospital setting, when things "went wrong", I am still so grateful for Lauren's care. Having someone in the room that I knew understood my desires and was constantly advocating and fighting for me was invaluable. I know I owe the positive health outcomes of my emergency to Lauren's care, and I consider myself blessed to have had this team through a scary experience. With my first I had a normal hospital birth without this team and that "normal" experience was emotionally much worse for me than the emergency situation that arose during this birth, because this time I went through the emergency with an expert that was calm, effective, respectful and caring throughout, so I had the comfort of always knowing I was in the best possible hands. Because of all this, i could not recommend this place enough

Allen Birthing Center is amazing! I toured this center back in 2013 when I was a nursing student. I knew then I wanted to give birth at this center in the future. In 2022, when my husband and I got pregnant, we knew exactly who to go to! We contacted Allen Birthing Center and we started receiving our care there. We got to meet all the midwives during our prenatal care and every one of them were very sweet, caring, and knowledgeable. We loved getting to know every one of them!

When I went into labor, it wasn’t what I had planned. My little one tore my bag and my water started leaking. At that moment, we had 24 hours to birth my little one or I would have to be transferred to the hospital (Medical City McKinney). I contacted the midwife on-call (Eva) and she had me come in to start the labor process. Eva, Katie (another midwife), and the nurses were amazing and did everything they could to help me progress! The center is a beautiful and amazing place to labor at. Sadly, at the 24 hour mark, I only progressed to 6cm and we had to get transferred. This was a huge fear of mine, as I was terrified the hospital would pressure me to get a C-Section. The midwives guaranteed me that they would do everything they could to not have me get a C-Section (unless it was medically necessary).

Once we arrived at the hospital, the hospital staff, were very sweet and caring. Since I was a birthing center transfer, they knew I wanted to do things as natural as possible. I did have to start Pitocin to help me progress, but they did start off low and slow. Eva (the midwife) did follow us to the hospital and continued to be my provider. I am so grateful for that!! I truly believe she was the reason why I didn’t get a C-Section. After 45 hours of labor (including Pitocin, an Epidural, and 1.25 hours of pushing), I got to meet my beautiful son. The midwives are the most amazing advocates and they did everything in their power to help me in my labor. I loved that Eva got to catch my son as well!

If you are wondering if having a midwife as your provider or receiving care at a birthing center is the right decision for you, I would definitely recommend it! I truly believe that if I would have received all my care with an OB and started my labor process at a hospital, I would have gotten a C-Section. Thank you Allen Birthing Center for everything! I definitely will be using y’all for my next pregnancy (and hopefully I will be able to give birth at the center next time as well)!

Had the most amazing overall experience with Allen midwifery. Without Courtney and Annie I’m not sure I could have made it through the last contractions. During the prenatal care visits I never felt rushed and always had time to ask ample questions. At an OB office you always have only 15min with the doctors and it’s so impersonal. Also no vaccines or other medical decisions were made without my consent. I always disliked hospitals pushing all this testing and probing. Also the in home after care visit is so amazing, hospitals can never offer that kind of care. This is how birth should be. Cost was about $5k all inclusive with my insurance.
