If you are interested in a home or birth center birth, Better Birth is a provider to consider.
Better Birth, founded by Suzanne Smith, a graduate with multiple degrees from Stanford and the Utah College of Midwifery, was the first licensed direct-entry midwife in the state of Utah. She definitely has a great love for what she does, and has a lot of learning behind her!
Better Birth offers their clients the option of delivering at the beautiful BellaNatal Birthing Center in Orem, or in the comfort of their own home. Better Birth serves mothers and families in Utah and Salt Lake Counties, although sometimes they will travel to Davis, Tooele, Summit and Wasatch counties.
From Better Birth’s website:
At BetterBirth, LLC we provide the very finest and most personal maternity care available. We see birth as a normal, healthy physical, social, and emotional process, and we expect it to be so throughout your experience with us.
We believe the relationship between midwife and mother is very important, and can have a big impact on your birth. It’s so important to be comfortable with your midwife. Trust should come easy. We schedule appointments so there is plenty of time to talk about questions and concerns, or just chit-chat about whatever is going on for you.
We believe your birth is a pivotal experience in your life, and will have repercussions much broader than you might imagine. We will work hard to make it exactly the experience you want it to be. A “good outcome,” that is, a healthy mother and baby, are the absolute minimum standard. Of course you want a healthy mother and baby(!) and we will never compromise our efforts to ensure you get them. But birth can and should be so much more than that. It is the experience beyond “alive and well” that makes BetterBirth, LLC an outstanding choice for your maternity care. We hope you will describe your experience with childbirth and with us as “exquisite.”
