How to Choose the Right Midwife or Birth Center
Finding the right provider for your birth is a deeply personal decision. Here are a few key factors to consider:
- Proximity – Consider travel time, especially in labor.
- Scope of Practice – Ensure they provide the level of care you need (prenatal, homebirth, postpartum, etc.).
- Insurance & Payment – Some midwives accept Medicaid or Tricare, while others may be private pay.
- Birth Philosophy – Each midwife has a unique approach; finding one aligned with your birth goals is important.
