California Birth Center - Rocklin, California

After a c-section and a traumatic in-hospital VBAC, I was willing to do anything to make my third birth the birth of my dreams, even pay out of pocket rather than use our insurance to pay for a hospital birth. After the most incredible birth experience, I'm so grateful that we decided to pay for the experience we wanted rather than the cheapest option.

I genuinely didn't think that such a perfect birth was possible. I knew it would be wonderful, but it exceeded my expectations in every way. The midwives were amazing, letting me do my thing with hardly any intervention. The only intervention was one singular cervical check that I requested at 7 cm. Their trust in my instincts allowed me to fully trust myself.

When we left, my husband (who had been supportive but a little skeptical) said, "Well, we should do that again." Coming from him, that is HIGH praise. It was such a bonding, beautiful experience for us.

It was a truly enjoyable experience and I'm so thankful for the environment and education that the midwives provided, along with their trust in me and my body. I couldn't be happier with CBC and I hope to have another baby with them.

I had an incredible experience at the California Birth Center, and I can't recommend CBC enough! From prenatal care to newborn care, the attention and support I received were far superior to anything I’ve experienced before. The staff (from office administration to midwives and assistants) were incredibly supportive, especially when it came to my VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), and they made sure I felt safe and empowered throughout the entire process.

I felt truly cared for, both physically and emotionally, and the environment was so nurturing, which made my birth a deeply redemptive and transformational experience. My husband, who was initially a bit skeptical, ended up being fully supportive of the birth center’s care approach. He now wholeheartedly believes in it and would encourage others to consider it for their own births.

If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be treated with respect, kindness, and receive top-notch care, this is the place. I’m so grateful for everything this team did to make my birth experience so positive.

I’ve had both my babies here at the California Birthing Center. There aren’t enough words in the world to begin to define how wonderful this place is! There is so much support and resources. Each appointment and each midwife treated the smallest issues I had with immense care! From the most minor headache to genuine concerns or issues I had during pregnancy and postpartum they took it all very serious and cared immensely to resolve the issue as well as my peace of mind. I felt prepared and informed about the labor and delivery process, and most importantly I felt safe through it all. I even liked the idea of an epidural, but the support and care here replaced that want and I’m so thankful to have been at the CBC. Much love and gratitude for the Birthing Center, my husband, babies, and I are so incredibly thankful for everyone here!

I have delivered three babies at California Birth Center. Each experience was individualized, compassionate and met me where I was, which was different with each pregnancy. Whether you’re a first time Mom or an experienced mother, they will adapt to help you on your personal birth journey. The attention to detail and the care they provide to women and babies is unmatched. I wish every woman who wanted to birth here could.

In all honesty, the birth center changed my life. It transformed me as a woman, a mother, and a wife. I came in traumatized from a birth at UCD, doubting my body and myself. I left CBC feeling empowered, healthy, and informed. My birth was everything I had envisioned, and the support was unmatched. My visits were never rushed; they lasted as long as I needed, and every question I had was answered. My son was born in water, just as I had dreamed—truly the most wonderful day of my life. The midwives are like gifts from God; they walked alongside me and taught me so much. I couldn't have done it without them. They are genuinely some of the most amazing people I've ever met.

Husband here—I was really nervous about having my son outside the hospital. I knew it meant a lot to my wife, but I was scared. However, after the visits, classes, and building relationships, I had no doubts about our choice. It was a wild experience to see what my wife was capable of and to be involved in the birth of our son. Any doubts you may have will be gone by the time it’s time to deliver. Just trust the process.

I had my daughter here in November of 2023 and it was the most amazing experience! It was everything I wanted in a birth and more! The midwives and staff are so informative, supportive and kind. I loved it so much I am now becoming a midwife. Highly recommend California birth center!!

From a husband/dad’s perspective, this was incredible! My wife and I both felt educated, empowered, and encouraged through the whole process. The whole team is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely care about you and your baby. Wouldn’t have a baby anywhere else.

Just gave birth to my first baby at the Birth Center. It was everything I wanted and more. So much great education and support leading up to the birth. I felt very confident by the time baby was ready to be born because of the information I learned at the classes, at the appointments with the midwives, and from the recommended resources. They addressed all my concerns along the way. Rachel and the billing department went above and beyond to work out issues with my health insurance. I would recommend CA Birth Center to any mom who wants to have a natural birth. You won’t regret it!!
