Midwives attend healthy, low-risk births. They are trained to recognize potential medical complications in pregnancy and refer those women to obstetricians, who specialize in higher risk pregnancies. Some midwives may have specific training in working with particular groups of women, such as women who have had a previous cesarean section or women who are giving the baby up for adoption and need additional emotional support.

What is the best way to deliver a baby?
The best way to deliver a baby at home is to make arrangements with a trained midwife. It's extremely important to have a knowledgeable person in attendance. There are different kinds of midwife; a nurse-midwife and a midwife. A nurse-midwife is a trained nurse with the additional training to specialize in midwifery and delivering babies; midwives who are not nurses have varying degrees of training, depending on the requirements where you live (or plan to have the baby). It is as important to find an appropriate midwife as early in your pregnancy as possible as it is to visit a doctor from early in your pregnancy. In addition to a doctor's advice, a midwife needs to evaluate if you are a good candidate for home delivery or if there are reasons that she would only deliver in a hospital setting.
