Minneapolis Midwife Services
Where You’re Heard,
Supported, and Empowered
At Twin Cities Midwifery, we believe birth is more than a medical event. It’s a sacred, transformative experience. Every parent deserves to feel empowered, respected, and truly cared for throughout their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey.
Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, we understand that each birth story is unique. That’s why we take the time to learn about your hopes, your fears, and your vision for your birth. Our compassionate, skilled midwives are here to guide and support you with evidence-based care, gentle hands, and open hearts.
You don’t have to do this alone. We offer a free hour-long consultation to answer your questions, talk through your concerns, and, most importantly, make you feel comfortable with your options for care. Because when you feel safe, supported, and confident, you’re able to embrace birth as the powerful, life-changing event it is.
Begin your journey with us, guided by trust, tenderness, and a team that honors the strength of every parent.
What is a Certified Professional Midwife?
There are two common types of midwives in the U.S. Nurse midwives are primarily trained in a hospital setting and most often attend births there. They are called Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs). Some CNMs also gain additional experience in out-of-hospital care. The second type is direct-entry midwives. These midwives are primarily trained and provide care in the home birth or out-of-hospital setting. Some direct-entry midwives earn the national credential of Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). In Minnesota, CPMs can also become state-licensed and earn the title Licensed Midwife (LM). It is a good idea to ask your midwife about her credentials, especially in Minnesota, where there are so many possible combinations and midwifery licensure is optional.
What makes someone a good candidate for a home birth?
If your medical history before pregnancy is healthy, your current pregnancy is low-risk, and you feel genuinely drawn to giving birth at home, you’re likely a great candidate! To keep you and your baby as safe as possible, our midwives use an ongoing risk screening process that starts during your first visit and continues through the end of your care. This approach provides valuable insights and helps create the best possible experience for your home birth journey.
What should I expect during prenatal visits with my midwife?
At every visit, we check in on your baby and your pregnancy by listening to your baby’s heartbeat, tracking uterine growth, and keeping an eye on your vitals like blood pressure, pulse, and weight. We discuss any pregnancy discomforts you might be experiencing and remedies for them. As different choices and options come up during your care, we review them at least one visit before any decisions need to be made. This gives you plenty of time to ask questions, explore your options, and make the decision that’s right for your family. In addition to discussing any questions or concerns you may have, hour-long visits also provide an opportunity for you and your midwife to build a close relationship.
Is home birth safe?
Midwives are skilled at guiding you through every stage of a healthy pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. Beyond providing support during normal birth, they are specially trained to recognize when something falls outside of the expected range and can identify warning signs well before an emergency develops. Your midwife and her assistant are certified in both adult and newborn resuscitation, adding an extra layer of security to your birth experience. Throughout your prenatal care, you’ll learn what situations are safe for home birth and when a hospital transfer might be best for you and your baby. Should a transfer become necessary, your midwife will coordinate the details and help keep the process as calm and seamless as possible, continuing to support and advocate for you at the hospital.
