Birth Center Suites

Private terrace rooms

Each of our three birth suites was created to be a sacred, welcoming space — with private bathrooms stocked with plush towels, a cozy, warm robe, and softly warmed blankets to snuggle in with baby after birth.

Two of our suites feature private terrace patios, and one — The Cove — was designed specifically for those who prefer to "den down" in a smaller, quieter, darker space.

"The perfect mix — with a heavy emphasis on the at-home feeling. I welcomed a sweet baby with the best team in the best environment, and I'd do it all again."

Complete comfort

Family room

Our kitchen is open for all at no additional charge. We encourage you to bring your favorite comfort food and snacks, or browse our Family Fridge and Pantry to help maintain energy during labor. All of our clients need to be able to enjoy a warm meal (and keep it down) before going home, and often your own comfort foods are the best bet. Of course, there are many popular delivery services available, and we have plenty light fare such as soups, oatmeal, fruits, juice and beverages for your convenience.

Patient testimonials

The care of the midwives and staff at A Family Affair Birth Center has been so refreshing and comforting! They spend time to get to know you and how you want to approach birth. Instead of a quick appointment that is just measuring belly and listening to heartbeat they take the time to listen to you and help you have the best pregnancy possible.

The feeling inside is very comfortable and home-like. I really appreciated having a bed large enough for my husband and I to lay on with our newborn after she was born. Tamara is very professional and accommodating. I felt safe and comfortable there.

There is no shortage of praise for A Family Affair Birth Center. Both the owner, Tamara, and the San Diego County Midwives team (Gerri, Heather and Andrea) are incredible, warm, professional and everything you would want in a supportive birth team. Due to a series of unnecessary medical interventions with my firstborn, for my second pregnancy I was determined to achieve as natural and gentle a birth possible, and the team at A Family Affair Birth Center helped me to accomplish that.

We had a complicated pregnancy and birth, but Tamara helped us with incredible grace and she cared for us through the entire experience. We had originally planned to give birth at Tamara’s birth center, A Family Affair, but with the 20-week anatomy scan we received a tragic diagnosis. Even though Tamara had to direct us to a hospital team, she did so with such grace and she placed us in excellent hands at the hospital.

Tamara and her team were amazing and I can’t thank them enough for everything. She goes above and beyond for her families she’s helping. If you want a truly devoted, kind and loving person to be on you’re birthing team, someone with an amazing team of extraordinary woman who truly care about the health and well being of mama and baby I encourage you to visit A Family Affair Birth Center. And the care doesn’t just stop at birth.

We were so so blessed to be able to deliver our little on at A Family Affair Birth Center. Tamara, Darynee, and Denise are such an amazing team of birth professionals. They truly made us feel at home and comfortable leading up to the birth and even more so during the birth because of their warm personalities and immense knowledge of birth.

I loved my experience with A Family Affair Birth Center, it went as well as I could’ve imagined. Tamara was very informative on what we could do if I wanted to help labor on but was by no means pushing anything on me.

My experience with midwives Tamara and Darynee was incredible. They always treated me, my husband, and my baby with love and care and made us feel like family! From prenatal care to labor & delivery to postpartum care, we had the most incredible experience and couldn’t ask for more. If we have another child, we will definitely be using these wonderful midwives and their birth center. 10/10 I recommend them!
