"Why Choose a Midwife?" Video

I saw this video on Gloria Lemay's blog. I think it's a terrific overview of the many reasons why women choose hospital or homebirth midwives. It was put together by volunteers from Our Bodies Ourselves and the Massachusetts Friends of Midwives.



Of course it's critical to remember that there are some OBs and family docs who practice evidence-based, woman-centered care and that there are some midwives who practice as "med"wives. That's why it's so important to get to know your care provider!

But for people who are just beginning to investigate the possibilities of midwifery care, or those who are curious, this video is a great introduction.
