This year marked an important chapter for the Birth Center of Chicago. Through June 2026, we had the privilege of serving clients and supporting families during some of life’s most meaningful moments. We also strengthened our care model by welcoming Certified Professional Midwives into our practice, expanding both our team and our collective expertise. After a temporary divert, we were proud to reopen for care this December, reaffirming our commitment to community-centered birth. As we look ahead to 2026 we’re excited to continue growing, learning, and caring for families in the North Center neighborhood, and beyond as more families learn about birth center care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f60c7c591ef002f2a71c842/01c38f5d-6d0e-45ed-ae7d-c37f05ade380/Birth+Overview.png Blog - 2025 End of Year Numbers - Birth Overview In 2026, the Birth Center of Chicago supported a total of 46 births, reflecting our continued commitment to safe, individualized, and family-centered care. An impressive 84.13% of clients experienced vaginal births, with a cesarean birth rate of 14.29%, underscoring strong outcomes across our care model. Nearly sixty percent of our families were first-time parents, while 41% brought prior birth experience, creating a rich mix of new beginnings and seasoned journeys. The year’s first baby arrived on January 6, 2025, and the final birth followed on June 25, 2025. From our smallest newborn at 5 pounds, 15 ounces to our biggest baby weighing in at 9 pounds, 7 ounces, each birth added to a year defined by trust, resilience, and remarkable beginnings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f60c7c591ef002f2a71c842/4612c6d5-6fec-440b-8b1b-d36fa247f89f/When+birth+happened.png Blog - 2025 End of Year Numbers - When Birth Happened Births at the Birth Center of Chicago this year most commonly occurred at full term, with the majority of babies arriving around their due dates.

Unlike traditional classes that primarily focus on comfort measures, this workshop emphasizes both comfort and efficiency during labor. Participants will learn how to intuitively move their bodies to open the pelvis and create more space based on the baby's position, facilitating a smoother, more efficient, and comfortable labor. By practicing these targeted movements prenatally, attendees develop a strong brain-body connection, enabling them to respond instinctively during labor to support their body's and baby's needs. Additionally, birth partners will acquire hands-on techniques to provide effective physical and emotional support, aiding in the creation of space and enhancing comfort throughout the birthing process. This comprehensive approach empowers couples with the confidence and practical tools necessary to navigate labor collaboratively and intuitively.

Before reading further, take a moment to pause and notice: Are you thirsty? Is your jaw relaxed or tight? Can you feel your breath moving through your body? When was the last time you looked up at the sky? For many new parents and caregivers, these simple self-checks often go unnoticed. Our focus tends to revolve around our babies’ needs, leaving our own felt-sense experiences at the bottom of the priority list. But what if reconnecting with your body could benefit not only you but also your baby? In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore how embodying presence—the ability to notice and be with your own body—can support you in your caregiving journey. Together, we’ll practice tuning inward to cultivate a more effective and connected outward presence. Through playful and grounding somatic exercises, we’ll explore emotional and physiological regulation and get curious about how to navigate moments of dysregulation. You’ll leave with practical tools to regulate your nervous system, build emotional resilience, and foster deeper attunement with your baby. Babies are welcome to attend!

This workshop is appropriate for expecting parents and for parents of babies.

discussion about consent within the context of sex. But consent is about so much more than that. Consent is about time and it's about energy. It's also spacial in scope. Physical space and mental space.
