Your baby’s birth is something exceptional and unforgettable. It only makes sense for you to feel special and supported. That happens in a space where you can labor and birth in confidence. From a fantastic staff to the space you birth in, Charleston Birth Place is an attractive option for your ideal birthing space.
About Charleston Birth Place
Lesley Rathburn, FNP, CNM, and owner/director, started her childbirth journey in a hospital. She loved helping bring babies into the world but was unhappy doing medically structured births in the hospital. She thought mothers in the community should have more options and resources to be a part of the decision-making for their bodies and families. At this point, Lesley knew if she wanted others to have that, she needed to get back into Midwifery and create her title and team to bring this dream to life. In 2008, she successfully opened Charleston Birth Place. Altogether, they have delivered over 3,000 babies since opening their doors.
They are proud to be the only freestanding birth center in their community. Over the years, her excellent, well-trained, knowledgeable, and compassionate team has grown immensely. That has led them to their most recent, larger, and updated facility to make your birthing experience as beautiful, calm, relaxing, and supported as possible.
