Many women choose to use a midwife because it gives them more options for their birth plan. You have more control over your birthing experience, from where you choose to deliver your baby to the type of drug interventions you’re comfortable using.
Plus, there are a number of benefits to having a midwife. Using a midwife for your care means that you have better chances of having a natural birth. Babies delivered with midwife support often have higher birth weights, and the risk of preterm birth is lower.
