I personally used these interview questions from Ina May’s book Guide to Childbirth:
- How, when, and where did you receive your midwifery education?
- Are you certified or licensed?
- What physician collaboration or backup do you have?
- Do you maintain statistics from your practice? May I see them?
- How many women are due within a month of my due date?
- Do you work with a partner If so, what are her qualifications?
- What is your plan if someone else is in labor when I am?
- Do you use pharmaceutical products to induce labor?
- What prenatal tests do you require?
- What are your recommendations about my diet during pregnancy?
- Do you carry an oxygen tank to births
- What methods do you suggest to alleviate labor pain?
- Is your certification in neonatal resuscitation up to date?
- To what hospital do you transport if this becomes necessary? Who will go with me?
- How often will you make postpartum visits?
- So you participate in regular peer review?
- How much do your services cost? Are you willing to create a payment plan?
- Where are you located? How often will I need to visit you?
