Description

Today we expand on our Doulas vs. Midwives episode and do a deep dive into the world of midwives. We talk about the differences between hospital, birth center and home birth midwives as well as why we really encourage all birthing parents to connect with a midwife regardless of birthing location.

Some topics we cover in this episode:

• difference between home birth midwife, hospital midwifes, birth center midwifes and OBs

• state regulations and midwifery
