Guided by the knowledge that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes, Catriona Munro and Christine Gibbs established Bellingham Birth Center to give expectant mothers and their families the option of experiencing the power and sanctity of birth in a safe, modern facility surrounded by their chosen family and friends and attended by a trusted licensed midwife.

The Bellingham Birth Center offers a choice of 3 attractive birth suites with private bathrooms and comfortable furniture where women can labor without unnecessary intrusions. Each birth suite has its own luxurious corner tub for labor and/or birth. Click on the TOUR THE BIRTH CENTER link for photos of the birth center.
