Midwives are more than just people who deliver babies; they’re the calming, quiet presence in the room that guides your body through a transformative experience. They’re the ones who will hold your trust as you prepare to welcome a new life into the world and the ones who will teach you how to nurture your body following the blessing of childbirth. More importantly, midwives usually become family along the way, having been a part of your most vulnerable, empowering, and incredible journey to parenthood. These Reno midwives are wonderful examples of just how great using a midwife for a home birth experience can be!
