How to find a midwife who fits

First, choose your city or county. A midwife appears when they serve that area, even if their practice is based somewhere else.

Next, pick your due month. Results then show midwives who marked that month and updated their availability recently. As a result, you skip outdated listings.

Then, narrow by birth setting. For example, choose home birth if you want care at home. Profiles say “Provides midwifery care at home births” only when the midwife lists it.

What “License checked” means

Midwives in Texas are licensed by the state. When a profile shows “License checked”, a moderator matched it to the official record and logged the date.

If we have not checked a license yet, the profile says so plainly. In that case, you can look it up yourself before you decide. Read our credential standards for details.

You can search Texas licensed midwives on the TDLR Midwives program website.

Common questions

What is the difference between a CPM and a CNM?

A Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) usually trains for out-of-hospital birth. A Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) is also a registered nurse. Both can practice in Texas under different rules.

Can I hire a midwife and a doula?

Yes. They do different jobs, so many families hire both. Search doulas on the birth doula page.

Questions to ask before you choose a midwife

Once you have a short list, plan a consultation with each midwife. First, ask which births they attend and where. Then ask who backs them up if two clients go into labor at once.

Also, ask how they handle transfers to a hospital, and which hospitals they work with. In addition, ask what prenatal and postpartum visits include, and how fees are paid.

Finally, trust how the conversation feels. A good fit matters for a long relationship. If you want extra support too, you can find a doula on BirthCareMatch as well.
