  i toured babymoon and they were SUPER sweet. very chatty and sat down with us and were actually interested in our story, etc. it's a husband and wife and they seemed really awesome.

  i had scheduled a tour for blossom as well but ended up cancelling it. the cost for me to birth there as opposed to an in-network hospital was too much of a difference with me being a SAHM. we have really great out of network coverage (80/20) but for me to birth in a hospital it's $100 total, so it was a pretty substantial difference . i found a midwife office who was on the same page with me as far as how i wanted my birth to go, and loved the hospital i used (phx baptist).good thing i decided not to do the birth center anyway, because i barely made it to the hospital and had my daughter 10 minutes after getting into an l&d room. i'd have been pissed if i spent all that money, lol. 

   

  good luck with whatever you decide! i've heard great things about blossom as well.

  I've heard great reviews of both facilities.  They offer tours to prospective parents so definitely check them out!

  Like the previous poster, my insurance didn't cover birth centers (and zero out-of-network benefits) so I went with my in-network copay.  I couldn't justify spending $4 to 5K just on the birth and go into that much debt as a new parent. 

  I saw the CNMs at St. Joe's and had a great experience there for an unmedicated natural birth.

  i considered them too! i ended up going with bethany women's healthcare and delivering at phoenix baptist becausei was super excited about laboring in their awesome jetted tubs but that didn't end up happening!
