" Hi! My name is Maureen Browne and on behalf of expertvillage.com. This clip today is here to discuss the benefits in choosing a midwife. Studies have shown that midwife will spend more time with you in each prenatal visit and in the entire birth process than in an obstetrician. While obstetricians attend closely to your medical care, they are restricted by time and often can not spend as much time during each visit. A midwife will address your fears and encourage you to be an active participate in your care. They will clearly explain your plan of care and make sure that all your questions are answered. A midwife tends to offer additional time for emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial needs that best prepare you for the birth and beyond. "
