Birthing Center, Orlando

I had my first baby in 1983 at Family Birth Center in Longwood FL. The midwife was MaryAnn Becker, CNM. The building, still standing today, was an old Victorian home that had been built by a ship merchant. MaryAnn renovated it and I thought is was the loveliest building in the world. I trained as a midwife in that same building, under the same midwives who delivered me.

It took me several years to put together what I felt was missing and it was good old fashioned Southern Hospitality. It really sank in when I had a trip to a local hospital that was in the 40k range and I had such a sad experience. Granted, hospitals are there only for your medical care, but I still felt that a nice meal was warranted for that price tag!

So I dreamed of my own center that would provide so much more than just maternity care. It would be like visiting new friends. You would feel welcome and just like visiting my old aunties, there would be tea, lemonade, or hot apple cider, fresh cookies, or danishes. It might sound like silliness, but visiting your midwife should not feel like you are going to a doctors visit.

WIlliam B Newman Birth Suite

Dr. Newman was a local obstetrician, based here in Seminole County. During his career, he delivered more than 10,000 babies. He was the Chief of his unit at 2 hospitals and before his passing, he went on to further his education to include a legal degree.

He was a hero to all area midwives, was my backup physician, and he truly believed in midwifery care. I was truly honored to call him my friend.

Gladys Milton was a Florida Midwife, born in 1924 in Walton County FL. She was the Founder of the Milton Memorial Birthing Center which is still in operation today with her own daughter, Maria. Gladys was inducted into the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame posthumously and she was regarded by many as a folk hero and a pioneer for women’s rights in her beliefs against racial disparity for birthing women.
