Forty Fabulous Reasons to Use a Nurse Midwife

 

 

"If we believe that every woman has the right to receive care from a midwife, then the practice of midwifery must encompass all women regardless of their normalcy or risk status, the setting in which they receive their care, or the practices within that setting.  We must recognize that, as individuals, each of us differs in what we choose to do and that it is acceptable to differ...Real midwifery is "with woman," wherever she may be, in whatever circumstances she may be in, in whatever condition her pregnancy, in whatever health care system (Burst, 1990)."
