Bracken Birthing Centre has this year undergone a £300k upgrade that gives parents-to-be in Taunton and Somerset access to modern, state-of-the-art birthing facilities.

Bracken is a very popular birthing centre and we bring over 500 babies from across Somerset into the world every year.

We wanted to create a ‘home from home’ feel at Bracken so we now have two birthing rooms, which both come complete with a pool, active birth couches, en suite shower rooms, temperature control and mood lighting.

We also have a dedicated Woodlands assessment room where women can be seen for appointments before and after the birth.
