Prenatal, Birth, and Postpartum Care
Birth Center Birth
Our birth center, located at 1525 Edgewater Beach Drive in Lakeland, FL, offers a peaceful environment in which to welcome new life into the world. The center is comfortable and home-like, with two birthing bedrooms to choose from, tubs for water births, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a separate area for guests to gather. Minutes from Lakeland Regional Health Center, the birth center is a safe option for low-risk mothers who seek a more intimate birth experience with a significantly less chance of interventions.

Home Birth
Home birth is a choice available to our clients who are located within a 30 minute radius from our birth center. In addition to regular prenatal appointments held at our clinic office (located at 3838 Lakeland Hills Blvd.), a home visit is conducted in the 36th week of the pregnancy by one of our staff midwives. Home birth is a safe option for low-risk women, offering the same level of care as a birth center birth in an environment that provides every comfort of your own home. Contact us to find out more about what a home birth experience might look like for YOU!
Prenatal Care Only for Hospital Birth
For low-risk clients interested in prenatal midwifery care prior to their planned hospital delivery, we offer services to meet their needs. Our Prenatal Care Only package includes all prenatal appointments, regular labs, ultrasound referrals, and education classes needed during pregnancy. These clients will pre-register at the hospital of their choosing and deliver with the obstetrician or midwife who is on call there. Afterwards, our midwives will continue to care for them during their postpartum period, seeing them at 2 weeks and again at 6 weeks after the birth, providing lactation support in the early weeks and a Pap test if requested at the final appointment.
Lactation Consultations
*Available to all families, regardless of where they received prenatal care*
We are passionate about supporting the families in our community with their infant feeding goals, whatever they might be, and we strive to be a source of education and encouragement for those who have chosen to provide this naturally healthy start for their children. Our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) have advanced training in oral function, restrictions, and habilitation of the newborn, and our clinic office provides a safe space for families to work through challenges using a feeding plan that best suits their needs, preferences, and lifestyle. We are thankful to have a strong relationship with other local providers, collaborating with pediatricians, dentists, chiropractors, ENTs, SLPs, and OTs when appropriate to offer the best possible care. In addition to private consultations, we also offer a free weekly “weigh-in” clinic, which offers families a chance to chat casually with one of our IBCLCs in a relaxed environment while doing a “weighted feed” to assess milk transfer.
Educational Opportunities
*Available to all families, regardless of where they received prenatal care*
Celebrate Birth is proud to be a resource to the parents in our community by offering classes and workshops designed to educate, support, and build confidence – not only for pregnancy and childbirth but also for postpartum wellness and beyond. Our clients are required to attend three classes in particular that will help them achieve their goals for a safe, natural delivery and an easier postpartum period: Prenatal Nutrition, Breastfeeding Basics, and Childbirth Preparation. (The cost for these classes is included in our cost of care and the seats will be reserved at the first prenatal visit.) All others can learn more about our classes here and register for them via our online calendar. Contact us if you have any questions or would like to schedule a private class!
Birth Pool Rental
Laboring in the water can provide significant pain relief for the mom while encouraging an easier birth and gentler welcome for the baby. Many moms also feel it provides them with additional privacy and helps them establish their personal space. Our birth pools can be used for hydrotherapy pain relief at home before a hospital birth or during a planned home birth. If you are interested in having this option available to you, we have pools available for a 5 week rental period, all supplies included!

The milk bank will provide a list of depots near you where you can drop off your precious donation or send you cooler boxes that you will ship directly to them through FedEx at no cost to you. *Celebrate Birth is a milk bank depot!
