Welcome to Mountain Midwifery Center!
Welcome to the oldest & most experienced birth center in the Front Range – licensed, freestanding and midwife-run. Mountain Midwifery Center provides a full range of pregnancy and well-woman services for clients in the Denver Metro Area, the front range, and across Colorado. We are a Colorado company focused on healthy babies and healthy families. Our team provides the best in prenatal education, labor support, newborn baby care, postpartum health and more. Please consider us for you maternity and gynecological care needs.
What makes Mountain Midwifery Center (MMC) unique?
- State of the Art Facility – MMC’s facility was designed and built to be a birth center. Our sound proofing, birth tub design, water heating capacity and electrical generator for power outages are all designed from years of birth center experience. You may not see all the differences in our birth suites, but they are there for your family.
- Colorado-owned – MMC is a locally-owned and independent freestanding facility.
- Midwife-run – We are not hospital owned, nor are we a corporate cookie-cutter chain. Our midwives can practice full-scope midwifery. Many midwifery practices are MD-supervised and limited in their ability to create the customized birth plan a family needs.
- Water birth – MMC has performed more water births than any facility in Colorado. Many local practices claim to do water birth, but in truth only allow moms to labor in water, not deliver. And some only allow their tubs to be used on “slow days” or with certain staff. The understanding of water birth, when it is appropriate and when it’s not, doesn’t happen automatically when a facility puts in a tub. It takes research, training and leadership.
- Licensing – MMC is the oldest licensed birth center in Colorado. Licensing is important because some hospitals call themselves birth centers without any commitment to evidence-based, low intervention labor management.
- A great alternative – MMC’s midwives & nurses are a safe alternative to OB/GYN care. We provide a full schedule of labs, ultrasounds and more to help women achieve a more natural birth. When there’s a question, we collaborate with obstetricians for both pregnancy and gynecological care.
- More versatile than you might think – Our midwives & birth center can support older moms, VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean / c-section) and more. Don’t assume you’re too risky to be supported at MMC by our experts in labor & normal pregnancy. Please visit us at an orientation, check out our Pregnancy page, or just give us a call to learn more.
