As a midwife I believe that my care should:

Be individualized, based on each woman’s needs and background and directed with a holistic approach.
Be respectful and compassionate, understanding what really matters to each unique individual.
Advocate for each woman’s self and wishes.
Be based on the fact that pregnancy and childbirth are natural processes and that they should not be interrupted with unnecessary interventions.
Be based on communication and evidence based information, so that every woman can make an informed decision regarding her health and of her baby.
Be empowering, so that every woman feels she can claim her primary role during pregnancy and childbirth.
