Starting with safe and competent prenatal care, there are many options in northern Colorado. Families can choose from:
- giving birth at home with a skilled and certified midwife
- giving birth at the freestanding birth center in Englewood, CO
OR
- having your baby at one of several hospitals in our area, with a Certified Nurse Midwife, a family practice doctor, or an obstetrician

We urge you to find out the details behind the location you plan to birth, and the statistics of the Northern Colorado prenatal care provider you choose. Please be aware that in our country right now, we have an epidemic of cesarean surgeries. At over 32% of all births, the World Health Organization states that we are creating more complications and poor maternal and neonatal outcomes than if the cesarean rate were at a safer 10% of all births. The best way you can keep from being a statistic of an unnecessary cesarean, is to pick a location and provider who oversee many healthy births. Ask questions of your Fort Collins pregnancy care provider, to find out if they are equipped to help you have the healthy birth you want.

If you are pregnant, you may be as addicted to childbirth stories as me. We have a page where we accept submissions from moms for

Northern Colorado Birth Stories.

So, we mentioned healthy birth...here are some other resources for pregnant Fort Collins families.

Childbirth Education is a high priority for expectant couples. Having an independent childbirth educator means that you will get an education that is uncensored by an entity with an agenda during your labor. Some childbirth preparation, like Birthing From Within, does a great job in helping you define your emotions and anticipation of your birth experience. Stephanie Rayburn is a Birthing From Within Childbirth Educator in Fort Collins.

Check our featured business listings for companies who provide services and products for families with young children, like Dr. Ed Osgood, with Lighthouse Chiropractic , a Fort Collins Chiropractor specializing in prenatal care, postpartum care and work with babies and young children.

Our links to our NoCoBaby Facebook page and other resources for this time are on the NoCoBaby page. These venues will have many events, ideas and support for moms from conception to baby's first birthday.

If you are new to town, or just don't know a lot of other families with little ones, the NoCoTots Meetup would be a great way for you to meet others who are in your boat for some fun!
