What are the benefits of midwifery?
Choosing a My OB/GYN Specialist midwife can offer numerous benefits to enhance your experience before, during, and after delivery. Examples include a:
- Lower risk of requiring a cesarean section
- Reduced risk of preterm birth and infant mortality
- Better, safer overall labor and delivery experience
- Lower risk of complications during labor and delivery
- Reduced risk of requiring regional anesthesia
- Natural birth when possible
Your midwife coaches you through the labor and delivery process. They have your best interest at heart and can interact with other health care providers on your behalf.
What if I have a complication during childbirth?
If, during labor or delivery, a complication arises that’s outside the scope of your midwife’s services, they consult with obstetricians and other health care providers to get you the quality care you need.
Midwives accommodate your preferences whenever possible and prioritize your safety and well-being.
