Welcoming a baby into the world is one of life’s greatest experiences—one that should fill your heart with joy.
Your nine months of pregnancy will give you plenty of time to make some important decisions about the type of maternity care you want for you and your baby and Providence is here to ensure your pregnancy is filled with both happy anticipation and confidence to make informed choices.

In this informative podcast, Allison Molinski, certified nurse midwife at Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California, sits down with Providence’s Ariana Lake to discuss the value midwives provide during a family’s pregnancy journey. As you think about your birth plan, this podcast will provide answers to key questions such as what is a midwife? What are the differences between midwives, doulas and OBGYNs? What services do midwives provide? And is using a midwife safe? Listen and decide what’s right for you and your growing family.
