I did. I never had to "reserve a spot" so to speak. I called a few days after I first found out I was pregnant (the day my period was due), and they scheduled me right in.
Fwiw, the first time I was there several weeks later, I did overhear the receptionist talking on the phone about having to turn people away because another birth center had recently closed down and many of their clients were shopping around for a new center.
Welcome to the board and please join in on some of our other threads. We don't do a lot of one off threads like this because they tend to clutter the board. We have a freestanding birth center and home birth thread linked below, and feel free to ask any other questions about freestanding birth centers there. I love talking about OOH births!
