Women with basically healthy pregnancies get to choose from a few options.
If you feel most comfortable with care providers that will take responsibility for most of the decision making and provide a mainstream template for you to follow, you may be happiest with a hospital birth.
If you feel knowledgeable about pregnancy and birth and ready to create your own care without a need for a professional birth attendant, you might be interested in an unassisted homebirth.
If you're somewhere in between, consider a homebirth or birth center birth with a midwife. We take the time to share our expertise with you, helping you to make confident, informed choices about all aspects of your care. A midwife-attended birth combines skilled support and preparedness with the privacy and individualized care that fosters a safe birth environment.
