The Midwife Grand Rapids List is Full of Pros
When you’re expecting, you know to gather the best Grand Rapids doctors into your crew. You’ll need a good OBGYN, pediatrician, maybe a specialist, and also a place to give birth.
There are many decisions to make about giving birth, from how to prepare yourself and your partner for the big day, to deciding where you will deliver your baby, to determining who will be in the room to help you through the process.
Have you considered adding a midwife to the list?
Midwives can provide a nice in-between for moms-to-be. They have medical training, but often have a more natural approach to pregnancy and birth. Some deliver in hospitals, some in your home.
