In midwifery care, nothing is routine; all of our care involves informed decision making by the parents. The midwives provide current information sharing, education and referral to other information sources. There is ample time for discussion of all aspects of care with you, your support partner, family members and friends. Informed choice discussions include risks, benefits, current research, community standards, implications and alternatives to each issue at hand. You are the best person to make informed decisions for yourself and your family.
