Independent Midwifery Care with Physician Collaboration

---

At Los Angeles Midwives, Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) provide independent, personalized care in both home and hospital settings. Midwifery care emphasizes building a trusting relationship with the pregnant person, promoting individualized, family-centered care. Pregnancy and birth are seen as natural processes, often resulting in fewer interventions, lower cesarean rates, higher VBAC success, and improved outcomes, particularly for those facing racial disparities.

At Los Angeles Midwives, we collaborate with a team of trusted Medical Doctors who share our philosophy of patient-centered care and respect for your approach to birth. These physicians, affiliated with Cedars-Sinai, work closely with us to ensure that your birthing experience is safe, holistic, and aligned with your preferences. Whether you are planning a home birth or a hospital delivery, our partnering doctors respect your choices and provide expert medical support when needed, ensuring continuity of care throughout your pregnancy and delivery journey.

While CNMs are independent providers, they collaborate with physicians and other medical professionals like anesthesiologists when necessary. This partnership ensures access to advanced medical care when needed, without compromising the holistic, personalized approach that midwives are known for.

Los Angeles Midwives' CNMs hold delivering privileges at Cedars-Sinai, allowing them to continue managing your care during planned hospital births or in the event of a hospital transfer from a home birth. This seamless transition ensures that your care remains consistent and patient-focused throughout your pregnancy and delivery.

By working closely with a team of experienced physicians and offering home and hospital birth options, Los Angeles Midwives ensures you receive comprehensive, safe, and holistic care tailored to your needs and preferences. Whether you plan for a home birth or prefer a hospital setting, our collaborative approach prioritizes your health and well-being at every stage.
