" 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.

A midwife tends to offer additional time for emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial needs that best prepare you for the birth and beyond. "
