While a midwife can only deliver healthy babies with no expected complications, an obstetrician is able to handle any situation, no matter how complicated or life-threatening. When you hire a concierge obstetrician you can feel confident that you have taken every precaution to ensure you deliver a healthy baby.

She will also arrange for additional support in the form of a birthing coach or midwife, if this is something you desire.
