"I avoided having certain things done during this pregnancy that I never would have known I had the power to decide upon if not for Dr. Rankins."

-Honesty M.

Giving birth in the hospital can feel scary. But it doesn't have to be with Dr. Nicole in your corner.

Hi! I'm Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins. Board-certified, practicing OB/GYN and mom of 2. I help first time moms get calm, confident and empowered for hospital birth.

For over two decades, I’ve supported thousands of women through hospital birth, helping them understand their options, advocate for themselves, and trust their power in birth.

The 'right' way to give birth is your way. 

The right way to give birth isn’t about doing everything “naturally” or doing everything medically. It’s about knowing yourself, knowing your options, and knowing how decisions are made. I’ve devoted my career to helping women trade fear and confusion for understanding, confidence, and power in birth.
