Your Birth, Your Way

The midwife you know, in the birth suite that feels like home

In most OB practices, you don't know which provider will be on-call during your birth until you arrive at the hospital. At Texas Family Birth & Wellness, the midwife who walks through the door at your birth is the same person who has known you, your history, and your birth preferences for months.

Kristen Parks, APRN-CNM stays with you throughout active labor and birth — not checking in between other patients, not handing off at shift change. Present, focused, and entirely yours.

Our model is built around one principle: midwives watch over and protect the normal birth process. We intervene only when necessary — and when we do, we explain why.

What Birth Looks Like Here

Everything included in your birth experience

🏠

Private Birth Suites

Two private birth suites designed to feel like home — not a hospital. Soft lighting, comfortable furniture, and space for your entire support team.

💧

Hydrotherapy Tubs

Both suites have full hydrotherapy tubs available for labor and water birth. Warm water is one of the most effective natural pain relief options available.

😮‍💨

Nitrous Oxide

Laughing gas is available for labor pain management. Safe, effective, and wears off quickly — so you stay mobile and in control of your birth.

👩‍⚕️

Dedicated Birth Assistant

A medically trained birth assistant will be at your birth to watch over your baby and support their transition from birth to your arms.

📋

Your Birth Plan Honored

We built your birth plan together over months of prenatal visits. It doesn't get set aside when labor starts — it guides every decision we make.

👶

Newborn Immediately With You

Skin-to-skin immediately after birth, delayed cord clamping, and your baby stays with you — no separation, no nursery, no routine procedures without your consent.

Safety First

Prepared for every outcome

Low-intervention doesn't mean unprepared. We maintain the highest safety standards so you can labor with confidence.

Hospital Privileges

Kristen holds privileges at Methodist Celina Medical Center — so your care can remain continuous even if a transfer is needed.

4 Hospitals Within 10 Minutes

Three hospitals for mom and one children's hospital for baby are all within a 10-minute drive of our birth center.

Planned Transfers, Not Emergencies

In most cases, transfers are done in a shared decision-making manner. Our goal is always to identify the need early and move proactively. In rare emergencies, Kristen is trained to identify the deviation from normal and act with calmness and clarity.

CNM-Level Clinical Training

Certified Nurse-Midwives complete graduate-level clinical training in obstetric emergencies, neonatal resuscitation, and hemorrhage management.

Common Questions

Labor & birth at TFBW

Yes — bring your partner, doula, family, or whoever makes up your birth team. We welcome everyone who supports you.
Yes. Nitrous oxide is available as a safe, effective option for labor pain management. It takes the edge off contractions without affecting your mobility or your baby.
Epidurals require an anesthesiologist and are not available at a birth center. If you decide during labor that you want an epidural, we will facilitate a calm, planned transfer to a nearby hospital. This is not a failure — it's a normal part of birth center care, and we support you fully through that decision.
We have established transfer relationships with four hospitals within 10 minutes. Kristen holds privileges at Methodist Celina Medical Center. Transfers are planned and proactive — we identify the need early and move calmly, not in crisis.
Yes — labor, birth, and your birth assistant are all included in the all-inclusive $7,500 birth package. There are no additional fees for birth itself.
