The Bellingham Birth Center has such fantastic midwives. I couldn't recommend these midwives any more highly. Their care is so compassionate and comprehensive, and their birth center is beautiful and homey. What a great place to birth.
Birthroot Midwives and Birth Center
1600 Broadway

The Birthroot Midwives are so lovely, and wonderful. They have such compassion and care for their pregnant parents, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for an out of hospital birth (at their birth center or as a home birth!) Their birth center is gorgeous and homey.

Located in Downtown Bellingham on Cornwall. I've met with Jenny, one of the massage therapists who offers prenatal massage as well as fertility massage! So amazing. She was incredibly lovely.
Whatcom County Pregnancy Clinic

Downtown Bellingham, this clinic has such friendly staff. I felt extremely welcome; anyone, especially low income and homeless would feel so warm and safe here! Great resource for those looking for any form of pregnancy help.
Tending Moon Breastfeeding Circle

A breastfeeding circle for parents to come and connect with other breastfeeding parents! Such a safe, warm place and held by a wonderful woman, Lisa Tenney. Every Wednesday from 10:30 to 12:00.
Nurturing Sprouts-Natural Childbirth Classes
2430 Cornwall Ave
Bellingham, WA 98225
A childbirth class centered around the out of hospital birth. Tanya, the instructor, is so warm and friendly. Her class is informational, and cozy, and offers a five week series or a one day condensed class. I highly recommend taking one if you're looking to birth at a birth center or home!
Freebirth Society
If you're looking for a group of women who you can relate to for a wild and free pregnancy, look no further. Even if you aren't fully into this, its still a great resource, especially the podcast! Hear stories of women birthing in their power, and feel the strength and wisdom from them towards your own pregnancy. I love this group, and every episode is worth listening to.

2450 James St.
Bellingham, WA 98225
