Serving Women, Honoring Birth
Midwives of New Jersey
The Midwives of NJ believe that birth should be empowering whether in the hospital, birth center, or at home. We practice within a woman-centered, evidence-based care model. We believe that our job as your birth provider is to educate, encourage, and support you in the beautiful, powerful work of childbirth.
A woman’s body has been perfectly designed for birth and in normal circumstances a baby can be born with minimal medical intervention.
A mother and child are fearfully and wonderfully made, and should be treated with respect at all times.
Women can be trusted to make the best decisions for themselves and their families when given reliable, non-biased information.

Your Birth Choices
The choice of where to deliver your baby is not as simple as it seems. At the Midwives of New Jersey, you have the choice of a hospital, home or birth center birth. Each birth site is safe for most people and has its own set of benefits and risks. One site will often feel more comfortable to you. Many people have very little understanding of what it means to choose their birth site because most women have no choice but to have a hospital birth.
