Welcome to the
Birth Cottage
The Birth Cottage now has two completely independent, free-standing birth centers in New Hampshire. We are located in Milford and our NEW location in Salem. We offer a comfortable, peaceful, and safe place to labor and birth.
The Birth Cottage has been providing family-centered care for pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and well-body since 2002. Our facility welcomes all people who believe, as we do, that pregnancy and birth are joyous and natural events in the life of a family. Although the Birth Cottage is a completely independent, free-standing birth center, it is part of an integrated network of coordinated maternity care and supportive practitioners.

Pregnancy
The Birth Cottage offers full prenatal and postpartum care in a warm, family-friendly environment. We focus on education, true informed consent and shared decision making every step of the way.

Well-Body Care
The Birth Cottage provides full scope well-body care and services, including full gynecological services, contraceptive care, breast health, yearly physicals, lab work, and primary care.

Breastfeeding Support
The Birth Cottage Midwives are committed to supporting a close & healthy nursing relationship. We emphasize early breastfeeding initiation, provide unlimited support, and employ an IBCLC and have peer groups as part of our care team. We have breastfeeding rates of 99.2% at 6 weeks!

Welcome to the Birth Cottage
The Birth Cottages are free-standing birth centers located in Milford and Salem, NH, owned and operated by Adrian Feldhusen, NHCM, CPM. Located in the heart of south-central New Hampshire and close to the Monadnock mountains, their quaint town atmosphere and old-world charm welcome guests and birthing families.
Both of our birth centers boast two spacious and beautiful birth suites complete with birthing tubs. Each suite is equipped with a queen-size bed, private bathroom, and comfortable furnishings. The Birth Cottages are some of the only facilities that offer water birth in the State of New Hampshire.
We offer full-scope midwifery services for families from prenatal care, labor, birth, and through the postpartum period. In addition, well-body care throughout the lifespan is integrated into our practice for all ages. We are now booking for both locations! Call us to schedule your appointment today. Tours and office visits are NOW available weekly at both locations.
About Us
We strive to be a model for out of hospital birth, providing safe, full scope maternity care to low risk families in a home like setting. The birth center is a resource in our local and wider communities for education about the Midwifery Model of Care©, the benefits of continuity of care, and the importance of restoring dignity and humanity to the experience of birth. We strive to provide low cost, high quality midwifery care throughout the lifespan.
We look forward to caring for your family during this exciting time!
