Frequently Asked Questions About Midwives & OBGYNs
- What is the difference between a midwife and an OB-GYN?
- OB-GYNs are medical doctors who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology and can perform surgeries including cesarean sections. Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice nurses who provide comprehensive pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care for low-risk pregnancies. Many families work with both, with the midwife providing primary care and the OB available if complications arise.
- Can a midwife deliver my baby in a hospital?
- Yes. Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) have hospital privileges at many facilities and can attend births in hospitals, birth centers, and homes. Availability varies by provider and hospital. Search NestIn to find CNMs with hospital privileges in your area.
- Is midwife-led care safe?
- For low-risk pregnancies, midwife-led care is associated with high satisfaction rates and comparable or better outcomes on several measures including reduced rates of unnecessary interventions. Midwives are trained to identify complications early and refer to or collaborate with OB-GYNs when needed.
- How do I choose between a midwife and an OB for my pregnancy?
- Consider your health history, risk level, birth preferences, and where you want to deliver. Midwives typically offer longer appointments and a more relationship-centered approach. OBs are the right choice if you have a high-risk pregnancy or expect to need surgical delivery. Many families successfully work with both.
