We advocate the preservation of midwife-attended births, in accordance with the Midwives Model of Care™ including those at home, in hospitals and in freestanding birth centers. Many North Carolina counties offer no obstetrical care to its residents. Women in remote areas are therefore left with neither an obstetrician to assist her in birth nor a nearby hospital in which to birth her baby. Midwives often provide care where there is no other care available. In North Carolina midwives offer care in urban as well as rural areas and to all socioeconomic groups. Midwives are highly trained and experienced in assisting pregnant and birthing women. Revised 06/05/2013 Our Children’s Place P.O.
