About us

Welcome to BB Gårda – where safety, time and presence are at the center

At BB Gårda you will meet experienced midwives who offer safe and individualized care throughout pregnancy and birth. We are a committed team that works with high medical safety, calm presence and respect for each family's unique journey.

Here you have the opportunity to give birth in a home-like environment, with continuity and support from midwives you get to know. We believe in safety, time and relationships – where birth can happen on your terms.

What is BB Gårda?

BB Gårda in Gothenburg is Sweden's first Birth Center – a place between home and hospital where you, a healthy mother with only vaginal births before and now having a normal pregnancy, can give birth in a calm and safe environment. Here you give birth with midwives you already know, in a warm and homely atmosphere where your body is allowed to work at its own pace.

Unlike hospital care, we offer a midwife-led birthing environment without medical interventions such as induction or epidural. If more advanced care is needed, there is a safe transition to hospital.

With us, personal presence and warmth are combined with professional competence and security - you get both, not either or. Here you can have a healing birth if you have perhaps had a tough birth before.

A safe and experienced team

At BB Gårda you will meet an experienced team of midwives and partners who share the same view of childbirth – that it should be safe, calm and individually adapted.

At every birth there are at least two midwives on site, and we always follow your normal birth process to ensure safe care for both you and your baby.

The operation is led by Cita Lundin, a licensed midwife with over 30 years of experience in maternity and childbirth care.

“Having children is not just about having a child – it is also about becoming a parent.”

— Cita Lundin, licensed midwife and founder of BB Gårda

Cita started BB Gårda with the vision of creating a safe, relationship-based alternative to hospital birth. Through a personal approach and presence in every meeting, she – together with her team – wants to give every family the opportunity to give birth in peace, warmth and trust.

Our philosophy & values

At BB Gårda we cherish physiological birth – the body's natural ability to give birth when it is given peace, security and time. We believe in care that is tailored to each family, not the other way around.

Security through relationship

You know your midwife and can feel seen, heard and safe – from the first meeting to the birth and the time after.

Family at the center

Birth is not just about having a child, but about becoming a family. We start from the needs and wishes of the entire family

Continuity and presence

The same midwife accompanies you throughout the journey, which creates trust and security.

Time and calm

We let the birth take the time it needs. A safe environment and present support provide the best conditions for a wonderful experience.

Medical safety in balance with warmth

We combine medical expertise with care and trust – so you get both, not either or.

Our core values

Security – You should feel seen and involved in every decision.
Trust – We get to know each other during pregnancy and build a close relationship.
Continuity – The same midwife follows you the whole way.
Respect – Your informed consent and wishes guide your care.
Naturalness – We believe in the body's own ability to give birth.
