Midwives provide an alternative to physician-delivered reproductive healthcare for women. They can diagnose and treat many of the same conditions that gynecologists and obstetricians do and may legally deliver babies in a variety of settings. For medical practices and birthing centers, Midwives provide a way for women to receive additional hands-on care and can lead to improvements in patient satisfaction. In hospitals, Midwives can handle routine labor and delivery, freeing obstetricians to focus their attention on women experiencing complications. This can lead to better outcomes for women during high-risk pregnancies.
