BORN OUTSIDE A HOSPITAL
Ann Arbor families who birth at home or at a birth center
Ann Arbor is a teaching-hospital town, and many families here arrive at University of Michigan Health Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital or the Trinity Health Birth Center with a clear idea of the birth they want. It is also a town full of families who moved here for work or study and have no relatives nearby to ask — which is often why the circumcision question gets researched rather than inherited.
Whether your son was born at Von Voigtlander, at the Trinity Health Birth Center or at home with a midwife, we come to your house once he is healthy and feeding well. Ann Arbor is about half an hour from home for us, so short-notice requests are usually workable.
The directory below lists Ann Arbor birth professionals — the Trinity Health Birth Center, home-birth practices including Trillium Birth Services, New Moon Midwifery and Gentle Mama Holistic Midwifery, and doulas including Ann Arbor Doulas, Ann Arbor Birth & Family and Michigan Family Doulas. If you moved here for work or study and have no family nearby to ask, this list is the shortcut we wish someone had handed us.
