Childbirth scares most moms. Dallas Midwives can ease the anxiety of labor.
Why would you want Dallas midwives to help you through labor versus a traditional hospital and OBGYN office? Easy, it’s all about your comfort level and feeling a bond with someone who has done this a million times.
Midwives are trained health professionals that specifically study the art of childbirth. They provide prenatal care, birthing education, general pregnancy support and finally coaching through the process of labor. Most women that are able to see a midwife have no complications with their pregnancy. If there’s issues with gestational diabetes, concerns with low birth weight or any other potential issues should consult with their OBGYN before moving forward with midwives.
Personally, I had my two boys in a traditional hospital setting via C-section. Both of their pregnancies and births felt rushed and impersonal with my medical team. Don’t get me wrong, I was very well taken care of. My boys were both born healthy and I was stitched back together with no complications.
I would have much preferred a more personal touch though!
That’s why I’ve gathered this list of highly recommended Dallas midwives to help you through your pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum!
Six fantastic Dallas Midwives in the DFW area
BundleBorn Midwifery
Dr Teri Mitchell found her love of caring for others at an early age. She delved into her education to focus on midwifery and now has been in practice for many years.
