Absolutely, Village Maternity encourages support for women in all aspects of their care.

Village Maternity chose a collaborative team based on its history of excellent clinical care with low c-section rates. Village Maternity is actively working to change the way birth happens in hospitals.

One secret of the New York City public hospitals is that, by having a longstanding tradition of using midwives collaboratively with doctors, they have often had better statistics than privately owned hospitals in NYC. Village Maternity strongly encourages you to come to take a tour, meet the practice, and decide for yourself, not on incorrect mythologies about any given hospital. Contact us for a tour. We know that once women meet the practice and see their options they will understand what a great choice Village Maternity is.

Because Village Maternity has a collaborating Ob/Gyn on staff, many clinical situations can be managed within the practice. We also have available outside Maternal Fetal Specialist consultation.

Village Maternity is happy to discuss vaginal birth after Cesarean-section (also called VBAC) with you. We approach this on a case by case basis. Our success rate is very high.
