Choosing a Midwife: What You Need to Know

Most midwives in the United States are health care providers who offer services to women of all ages and stages of life. While midwives care for women of all ages, we particularly focus on women with a low-risk pregnancies or births. However, some midwives care for women with moderate health risk factors, such as gestational diabetes, previous c-section or hypertension.

I recommended interviewing several providers before making a care decision. It's important you understand your care provider's philosophy to care and can see yourself having a long-term relationship with this provider.
