Newborn Care
Circumcision in a safe,
gentle setting.
At Beginnings Birth Center, our certified nurse-midwives offer circumcision as an outpatient procedure — so your family can make this decision without a hospital visit.
Our Approach
Thoughtful care for
your new baby
We offer circumcision to clients who choose this option with our certified nurse-midwives. If your baby was born at Beginnings, your midwife will assess baby's anatomy and wellbeing at birth. For families who birthed elsewhere, we schedule a consultation first to assess baby before booking the procedure. Either way, all families are warmly welcome.
We use the Mogan clamp method for circumcision — a well-established, safe approach performed right here at the birth center as an outpatient procedure. You won't need a hospital appointment or a separate provider.
We do require the Vitamin K injection after birth before performing circumcision at the birth center. This is a standard safety requirement to support healthy clotting.
A nurse-midwife and a dedicated assistant are present throughout the procedure. The assistant's sole role is to provide comfort to baby during the circumcision. We then monitor baby for approximately 30 minutes after the procedure and send you home with thorough aftercare instructions.
What to expect
Simple, clear, and completely supported from start to finish.
You're not alone in
this decision.
Whether you choose circumcision or not, our team is here to support you with evidence-based information, compassionate care, and zero judgment. This is your family's choice — and we honor that completely.
Newborn Care
Comprehensive care
for your new baby
For babies born at Beginnings, our nurse-midwives provide newborn care for the first two weeks of life. Routine visits are scheduled at 24–48 hours and at two weeks, with additional visits available as needed based on the needs of the mother-baby dyad.
We also provide newborn metabolic screening, hearing screening, and pulse-oximetry screening for heart defects — all right here at the birth center.
