BirthCare & Women’s Health Ltd. is a practice of midwives located in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. We serve families desiring to birth in their home or in our nationally accredited birth center. We attend home births in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia within a 40-mile radius of Washington, D.C. For birthing people and families who prefer a birth center experience, they may come to us from as far away as Winchester, Warrenton, Fredericksburg, Ellicott City, Gaithersburg, and Southern Maryland. In addition to our birth services, we also work with clients seeking personalized gynecologic care, and family planning.

The midwives at BirthCare believe that childbirth is a normal physiologic process. Childbirth is an event which best proceeds when the childbearing person is the central focus, their health is promoted, they feels safe in their birth environment, and their natural efforts to birth are supported.

Clients can begin their care with us for well woman gynecology or for their first prenatal visit. Every appointment is an educational experience to enable the mother and family to most effectively promote a healthy normal pregnancy. Children are always welcome at the center for prenatal visits and, if desired, may be an integral part of the birth team.

BirthCare’s philosophy is based on the belief that health care takes place within the context of a partnership in which the provider and consumer of care have joint responsibility. Every person brings to her pregnancy and birth her own unique gifts, which the BirthCare midwives encourage. We respect and enjoy working with the wide cultural diversity of birthing people and families that have used our services. All care is designed to meet each client’s specific needs and preferences.
