Not sure what to ask? Here's a start.
The questions that matter most, before you choose a provider.
This is the question that matters most, and the answer should make you feel calmer, not more anxious. A great midwife will walk you through exactly which hospital, how far away it is, and what would trigger a transfer. You should leave this conversation feeling more prepared, not less.
The number alone doesn't tell the full story, but the way she talks about it does. Ask what role she played, what kinds of births she's seen, and what she's learned along the way. You're looking for experience and humility together.
This is really the question behind every other question: will she listen to you? Will she respect what you want even when she might do it differently? Pay attention to whether she talks about birth as something you do together, or something she manages for you.
At 11 p.m. when you're worried about something, the last thing you want is uncertainty about whether you can reach her. Some midwives are a quick text away, others prefer a portal. Neither is wrong, but knowing which one she is avoids a lot of third-trimester stress.
Two midwives can quote the same number and mean completely different things. One might include everything from prenatal visits to the birth kit to six weeks of postpartum care. Another might charge separately for each. Don't compare prices, compare what you're actually getting.
Everyone focuses on the birth, but the first week after is when you'll need support the most. Will she come to your home? Check on the baby? Help with breastfeeding at 3 a.m.? This is where great midwifery care really shows, and it's the part most people forget to ask about.
