Pregnancy, what a beautiful time in the lives of a woman.Well, except for the sickness.  But beyond that, the expectation of a new baby coming is exciting.

Usually, for women in general, the question of how you are going to have the baby isn’t that big.  Because most women will go the standard route of a medical procedure involving hospitals, drugs, and doctors.

But for some women, there is an alternative.  That alternative is hiring a midwife and doing it the natural way.  And it is that alternative I am going to share from my experience as a San Diego midwife.

For those that don’t know, midwives are women who perform natural, no drugs, deliveries.  This means usually no doctors.

Often times midwives in San Diego perform these services at homes.Although, not known by most people, this way to deliver a baby is a safe and regulated alternative.

The midwives in this service industry are fully regulated.They can be licensed midwives or certified midwives that have a regulatory board that oversees them. 

Sometimes they can be a nurse, but it is not a requirement. 

This form of delivery is an option a lot of women choose and includes waterbirth in San Diego. Mostly the choice is made by women because they do not want any drugs during delivery and to prevent any drugs entering the new baby.  Also it is for women who don’t want any invasive procedures such as episiotomys.

When you are making a big decision such as the method of delivering your baby, you want to make right decisions.  With anything, you want to make sure you pick the right person.

Like I mentioned before, this is a highly regulated industry. With that being the case, finding a good midwife who is licensed or certified is easy. 

All you have to do is find your state regulatory board that  oversees midwives and do a background check to see if there have been any complaints or issues with your prospective midwife.

With that simple step, you are able to determine if this is a quality midwife you can trust.  Obviously once you find that there are no complaints or reports against the midwife, you also want to check references. 

You want to find someone who has clients that only speak highly of them.  With something as intimate and important as a delivery following these few steps will help you find the right midwife for your delivery.
