New Zealand College of Midwives
Pregnancy and childbirth involve every part of you. Feelings, hopes, fears, physical and practical needs and spiritual or religious beliefs can all affect your pregnancy and birth. Midwives address all these aspects to help you give birth naturally, safely and confidently. The partnership relationship of the midwife and the woman is the foundation for women-centered midwifery care. Women who experience this type of midwifery care report feelings of great satisfaction and empowerment. Choosing the right midwife for you is very important. Think about the questions you can ask to find out if the midwife will meet your needs.
