The Arbour Birth Center is a home-like facility located in Calgary, Alberta specifically designed & equipped as a safe and comfortable place for women & their families to give birth when attended by their registered midwife.

The birth center provides a space for care that is mother- and family-centred, where pregnancy and birth are considered normal processes- not illnesses.  With 3 suites Arbour Birth Center is equipped for over 30 births a month.

* Mothers must be in the care of a registered midwife in order to book and use the Arbour Birth Center *

YES we are open for in person tours once again. Virtual tours will continue to be available.

Appointments may be made by e-mail arbourinfo@shaw.ca or phone 403-284-5950.

Within the Birth Center there are three birthing suites, a kitchen for the preparation of provided snacks or light meals you may bring with you, and a comfortable living room area for waiting family and friends and toys to entertain the little ones. The birthing rooms are each furnished as master suites with ensuite bathrooms that feature large tubs for use during labour and birth. The equipment needed for a normal labour and birth are stored in the suite closets.  

The mother chooses from the available suites when she arrives at the birth center in labour. Details under the heading Rooms.

Client testimonial

 
 

I knew that I always wanted to birth my baby outside of the hospital. I work in a hospital. I wanted a different experience for us. My husband was not always on board. He is so glad that we decided on Arbour Birth Center.
Our son was born in the Rose Room. We were able to personalize the space to create the atmosphere we were the most comfortable in. We turned off the lights, had our diffuser going, and we laboured together, mostly undisturbed. Our experience was 10/10. If we ever have another, we will definitely be coming back to Arbour 💙
