Home Birth Partners is a directory of certified home birth midwives across all 50 states. Every midwife listed here holds a current credential verified through the National Provider Identifier registry: Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM), or Licensed Midwife (LM).
The directory is free for families. Search by city or state, see who practices near you, and contact them directly.
Finding a home birth midwife is harder than it should be. There is no central directory. Most midwives don't advertise. Word of mouth works if you know the right people, but most first-time parents don't.
We built Home Birth Partners so families could see who is available in their area without making a dozen phone calls. Every listing includes the midwife's name, credential, location, and phone number. Midwives with completed profiles also show their availability, insurance, cost, specialties, and a bio in their own words.
Every credentialed midwife in our NPI database has a basic listing on the site. These include name, credential type, city, and phone number. This information is public record.
Midwives can complete their profile to include a photo, bio, availability by month, insurance accepted, cost range, specialties, and more. Completed profiles give families the information they need to know it's a good fit before they call.
If you're a midwife and want to update or complete your listing, visit the profile page to get started.
We are not a hospital, a medical practice, or an insurance provider. We do not give medical advice. We do not recommend one midwife over another. The content on this site is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for guidance from a licensed healthcare provider.
Families should always verify a midwife's credentials, discuss their specific medical situation directly with the midwife, and consult their own healthcare provider before making decisions about their birth plan.
We publish evidence-based guides on topics families search for when they're considering home birth: what it costs, who is a good candidate, how to evaluate a midwife, what questions to ask, and what the research says. Every article cites peer-reviewed sources and is reviewed for accuracy.
Our goal is to give families the same quality of information a friend who is a midwife would give them: honest, specific, and grounded in reality.
