Midwives & Home Birth
Midwives are guardians of natural childbirth with exceptional training and experience in prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. Family Birth Services has some of the most respected midwives in the DFW area. All of our midwives hold a Texas license (LM) and a national certification by The North American Registry of Midwives (CPM). This certification is the only certification requiring specific clinical experience in home birth. From years of training midwives, Family Birth Services can ensure thorough academic and extensive clinical training of each of our midwives. Our team approach allows you the benefit of collaborating with many midwives while establishing personalized care from one primary caregiver.
