Choosing a midwife is a very important process for pregnant women. You need to find a midwife that you feel comfortable with, as the pregnancy, labor, delivery, postpartum and newborn stages are extremely private and wrought with emotion. You also need to find a midwife with the proper training, schooling and experience. To find the best midwife for you, do your research. Choose a few different midwives and get in touch with each one. Get contact information, availability, rates and services. Then ask to arrange a meeting. Some midwives operate out of their homes while others operate out of spas and other settings. When visiting with each midwife, consider the surroundings. Make sure the home or office is not only warm and inviting, but also clean and well maintained. You will know right away whether the midwife is a good fit for you once you chat awhile. Make sure your philosophies about pregnancy and labor gel together. When choosing the midwife for you, research the midwife's background carefully, noting how long she has been a midwife, if she has ever been pregnant herself, any affiliations, any obstetrician or OB/GYN training, experience with high risk pregnancies, home birth experience, cesarean section experience, and contact information. If you are expecting twins or multiple births, ask if this is something the midwife can handle. After finding a midwife you like, work out a delivery and birth plan, taking into consideration unexpected emergencies, such as the need for a NICU for newborn care complication. New parents, both husband and expecting mother, should be on board with a particular midwife, all working together to make the pregnancy and birth of the newborn baby a memorable one. Inquire about Lamaze classes that teach natural birth, possibility of epidurals, relaxing positions, episiotomies, and need to induce.

Expecting parents who want assistance and help with health issues regarding prenatal and postpartum care, and the childbirth process, will often choose to use the services of a midwife. A midwife is usually trained in providing prenatal care services, such as routine examinations and pregnancy monitoring, to expecting mothers and will often have expertise in a wide range of women's health issues. Midwives will often be present at the birth of a child, and in some circumstances, may even help perform the birth. Once the child has been born, the midwife will usually help in the postpartum phase, giving care to the child and advise to the parents during the time directly following the birth.
