Federal Way Birth Center (FWBC) is the first freestanding community birth center in the state of Washington, owned and operated by a Black midwife. Families can get all of their pregnancy care, from prenatal, labor and delivery, to postpartum care at FWBC, or just come to birth with their midwife. FWBC partners with independent midwives, such as Licensed Midwives (LM) and Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM), from the community to have their clients birth at our beautiful facility. Midwives practicing at Federal Way Birth Center abide by the standards and practice guidelines of the Midwives Association of Washington State. Federal Way Birth Center, we believe that every pregnant person, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or income, is entitled to a safe and healthy birthing experience and should have the knowledge and support to feel empowered to advocate for their own healthcare.
