When I had my first homebirth, I had no idea what to expect from the midwives, the birth – not even a prenatal. Seriously, all I knew was that it had to be different from hospital birth and for me, that was enough. However, I was in a desperate place. Thankfully not all moms and dads make the homebirth decision from that place. Videos like the one below can really be helpful in answering the questions of what does a homebirth midwife do?
I really enjoyed this video. I think this one would be a good resource for the grandparent who is concerned about a woman’s choice to use a midwife. It doesn’t give a bunch of statistics but does say “look, midwives provide care for you as a person, not just as a pregnant woman.”
