Some of the benefits of using a midwife and/or a doula

• Midwifery care is available in a hospital setting

• Seeing a midwife lowers the chances of a C-section, an episiotomy and perineum tear

• Odds of a healthy low risk pregnancy and of breastfeeding increase.

• The need of pain medication lowers

• Labor time decreases

Look at the hospital data (aka C-section vs natural delivery %'s) to help you choose a hospital first, and then decide on a provider
