Choosing a prenatal care provider


Staring at those two pink lines on a pregnancy test can be overwhelming. Suddenly you are in charge of another human being! You are now a parent, and taking care of the baby starts in the womb.


One of the first things you need to do when you find out you are pregnant is to find a pregnancy care provider to give you the prenatal care and advice that you need. Here in Minnesota we are very fortunate to have a broad range of choices to choose from. We are free to choose an all-natural home birth with a midwife or a doctor-assisted, pain-free birth in a hospital.


Types of providers:

Midwife who does homebirths

Midwife in a birthing center/hospital

Family practitioner


High risk pregnancy specialist
