Home Birth Midwife Directory

Browse midwives by state. Registry-backed listings come from active individual National Provider Identifier records carrying an explicit midwife taxonomy; claimed profiles add information supplied directly by the practice.

An NPI listing does not by itself confirm current licensure, availability, or home birth services. Confirm those details directly with each midwife before choosing care.

Each state page covers what licensure means in that state, what midwives charge by region, how Medicaid coverage works, transfer hospitals, and what to ask before hiring. Click any state below to start.
