Again and again, we hear from clients why they chose midwifery care over hospital care. Here are the top reasons: Individualized clinical care in a small practice, hour long prenatal visits, Continuity of care during labor and delivery, In-Home Postpartum Care and Lactation Support, In-Home Postpartum Care and Lactation Support, Safe, Affordable and Gentle Care For Mom and Baby. The World Health Organization consistently supports midwifery care because the statistics reflect what we know and practice at Thrive; births attended by midwives have lower infection rates, lower C-section rates, fewer complications, and healthier outcomes – thus, lower overall medical costs.
