Who can choose a midwife for their practitioner?
Anyone looking for a midwife really can come and consult with the midwife, we can sit down, go over any medical issues, any high-risk issues, and help you decide if you are a candidate for a midwife. Most patients really are able to see nurse midwives. It's very rare that we have to transfer the patient to a physician, but of course, we work physicians. They're our partners. We value them greatly, and we work together as a team to provide the best care for mom and for baby. Really, if you're unsure, you can make an appointment. We'd be happy to sit down, speak with you, go over your risk factors, and talk about what the best options are. Typically though, we are suited for women who are low risk.
