- JMJessica MacIntoshDec 31, 20255.0I recommend Plano Birthplace without hesitation. My husband and I had an incredible experience from start to finish. Both midwives, Jeannine and Lindsay, are so kind and knowledgeable. I never felt rushed, and they were always patient, supportive, and generous with their time. My delivery was smooth, safe, and empowering. The classes for first-time natural birth moms were incredibly helpful and gave my husband and I the confidence and preparation we needed. Jeannine delivered my baby, but I felt completely comfortable with either midwife. Postpartum care was just as wonderful. Also, a pleasant surprise was that birthing here was much more affordable than several of our friends who birthed at a hospital and even other birthing centers. I am grateful to have experienced a natural birth at a birthing center with such care and attention for my entire family. For any future pregnancies that our family may be blessed with, there is no doubt I will be birthing at Plano Birthplace!
- MCMelina CroleyDec 17, 20255.0I had my 3rd baby here in September. My previous babies were born in a hospital with epidurals and I wanted to try something different this time around. I was incredibly stressed and anxious when I found out I was having another baby and Lindsay was so awesome throughout my pregnancy and it actually ended up being my smoothest and easiest. I typically get super nauseous and sick through the whole thing but I was actually given helpful tips and medication when I asked for it so it eased a lot of that sickness I was anxious about. I also ended up needing to do the 3hr test for gestational diabetes and was super anxious about that as well but Lindsay was there to talk me through it and really eased that as well. And it ended up not being a problem anyways. Anytime I had questions about labor or anything, Lindsay and Jeannine were quick to respond and when I was finally in labor, Lindsay was great at helping me in different positions and I didn’t feel rushed to push a baby out. It was a very calm environment and it was really only sucky (because of the pain) at the end but at least that didn’t last for very long. If I ever find I’m having another baby, I will be coming back here.
- BMBrittani MarstellerDec 15, 20255.0Let me start by saying this review is LONG overdue, but every time I attempt to write one, my words seem inadequate to fully express how much Plano Birth Place, Lindsay and Jeannine will forever mean to me. After a traumatic hospital delivery and 3rd degree tear with my 2nd baby in 2020 I was terrified of having another child. Every time I inquired about having another baby I was strongly encouraged by MULTIPLE OBGYN practices and even another midwifery to have an induction and scheduled c section. I refused to let fear control my decision and began to pray. I have no doubt God led me to Plano Birth Place. Jeannine and Lindsay took over my care and helped me confidently deliver my rainbow baby in the most beautiful, redemptive, healing birth experience without one single tear. Birthing here is how labor and delivery should be. I wish all moms could have the support, care, compassion and love that Jeanine and Lindsay showed to me.
- DWDani WilsonNov 12, 20255.0The most beautiful and empowering experience I could’ve imagined. From the very first appointment, I felt seen, supported, and truly cared for. The atmosphere at the birth center is so peaceful, it feels like a cozy home rather than a clinic. Lindsay was my midwife, and she’s the one who received my baby. She radiates calm and confidence, and during labor, her presence gave me so much peace. The team also recommended having a doula, and I’m so thankful I decided to. Stacy, my doula, and Lindsay made the perfect team. The way they spoke to me during contractions ~soft, steady, reassuring~ helped me stay centered and calm through every wave. My labor moved very fast; I gave birth in the tub just one hour after arriving, and we were back home only 3 hours later, snuggled up with our newborn. It felt surreal!!! safe, intimate, and exactly how I had dreamed of welcoming my baby. What I loved most about Plano Birthplace was how much they empower you to trust your body. They don’t just care for you physically, they prepare you mentally and emotionally for birth. Every recommendation they gave made such a difference. If you’re thinking about having an unmedicated birth, I can’t recommend Plano Birthplace enough. It’s a place where you’ll feel respected, encouraged, and surrounded by women who truly believe in you and your strength. My experience there will stay with me forever💜
Frequently Asked Questions About Plano Birthplace
What is a birth center?
A birth center is a comforting environment that provides comprehensive care for healthy individuals with uncomplicated pregnancies. It offers prenatal, birthing, postpartum, and newborn care, as well as women's health services. Birth centers follow the midwifery model of care and are integrated into the healthcare system. They prioritize prevention, sensitivity, safety, appropriate medical intervention, and cost-effectiveness.
Do you offer water births?
Yes, we provide excellent birthing tubs for labor and delivery. Water immersion during labor has been shown to offer numerous benefits, including pain reduction, enhanced relaxation, and improved mobility for the laboring mother.
What do you have to help with labor pain?
Our midwives are experienced in natural childbirth techniques and offer various pain management methods. These include hydrotherapy, positioning, massage, counter-pressure, herbal remedies, and supportive encouragement. We also provide inhaled nitrous oxide, which many find helpful. It's important to note that we do not offer intravenous pain medication or epidurals.
Do you take insurance?
We are currently in-network with CIGNA. For all other insurance companies, we are considered an out-of-network provider. However, we are happy to file claims with your insurance company on your behalf.
Is the birth center available for everyone to give birth?
Our birth center caters to individuals with low-risk pregnancies. We advocate for overall pregnancy health. The definition of low-risk versus high-risk can vary depending on individual circumstances. Generally, if you're in good health without significant chronic conditions and expecting a single baby, you're likely eligible for birth center care. Factors such as conception method and age don't automatically classify you as high risk. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our staff to discuss your specific situation.
What happens if my pregnancy becomes high-risk?
If a mother's pregnancy becomes too high-risk for a birth center delivery, we continue to provide care with her midwife in a hospital setting. Plano Birthplace is one of the few birth centers in the DFW area where our midwives have hospital privileges. We are committed to continuing care for all our clients, even if a change in birth setting becomes necessary.
What if there is an emergency?
Our midwives are extensively trained to recognize potential early signs of complications throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. Both mother and baby are closely monitored for any indications of complications. If early signs appear, your midwife will efficiently coordinate a transfer to the nearest appropriate hospital for further evaluation and care. Our location is less than two miles from a hospital.
When should I begin care at the PBP?
Most of our clients opt to complete their entire prenatal care with us, starting with a pregnancy confirmation visit typically between eight to 12 weeks. While some clients join us later in the first or second trimester, we generally cannot accommodate new clients after the 28th week of pregnancy.
Do you offer home birth?
Yes, Plano Birthplace provides home birth services. We bring portable equipment and necessary supplies to your residence. We also offer guidance to help you prepare your home birth space, ensuring a comfortable and supported birthing experience.
How soon can I go home after giving birth at a birth center?
After a birth at Plano Birthplace, families typically return home three to six hours post-birth, provided both mother and baby are healthy. There are specific criteria that must be met before discharge. In the first two hours after birth, skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby is encouraged. The newborn exam is conducted about two hours post-birth. Often, the mother will nurse her baby several times, shower, and have a high-protein meal before leaving. Once home, we recommend parents spend the first 48 hours in close skin-to-skin contact with their newborn.
