Photos from visit to birthing center in Holmes County

Hello Amish Readers,

Here are photos from my visit to the beautiful new birthing center in southern Holmes County, Ohio. The facility is staffed by Amish midwives and non-Amish medical personnel. I was impressed by the professional, yet warm and homey feel. Moms-to-be and their families get top notch care while part of a friendly, loving environment. Hope you enjoy the photos! I certainly enjoyed touring the facility as part of my research for my March release, Abigail’s New Hope, the tale of an Amish midwife.

  1. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THEY ARE REALLY NICE TO SEE AND MAKES A PERSON WANT TO HAVE A BABY THERE. EXCEPT AT MY AGE 70 LITTLE HARD TO HAVE HAPPEN. I WISH THAT I HAD KNOW MORE ABOUT THE AMISH PEOPLE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAY OF LIFE MIGHT BE HARD BUT VERY REWARDING. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR BOOKS AND SHARING WITH EVERYONE ABOUT THOSE SPEACIL PEOPLE AND THEIR WAYS.

  3. Thanks so much for sharing these photos of the Amish Birthing Center. They were great. Both my daughter and I absolutely love stories about the Amish and their ways. We can hardly wait for new books to be published. I would love to visit a community. I know Wanda Bruntetter, an Amish writer, etc, personally. I have met her, had photos with her and we write back and forth to each other, online. The daughter I speak of above, is and has been a nurse on the maternity-mother and baby floor at one of our local Hospitals. She has worked there for close to 23 years, and loves it. Keep those books coming, and I will keep buying them, and reading them. Pegi

  4. Those pictures sure look like the NBCC, which is in Coshocton county. Didn’t know there was another one just like it in Holmes county now! WOW, Birth centers must really be thriving up there! Wish we had one down here!

  6. Hello,

    Thanks so much for sharing your photos. I recently visited Holmes County’s Amish community and fell in love with the Amish community. I have a strong desire to return for another visit in the near future. I have been a labor and delivery nurse for almost 12 years and would love the opportunity to visit one of their birthing centers and attend a live birth if possible. Any information or suggestions you have to help me meet my goal would be greatly appreciated…

    Sincerely,

    Chana Smith
