    Q1: What is the difference between a midwife and an OB/GYN?
    A1: Midwives specialize in low-risk pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. OB/GYNs are medical doctors trained for both routine and high-risk pregnancies, surgeries, and complications. At BASS, midwives and OB/GYNs work together to provide seamless care.

    Q2: Can I have a hospital birth with a BASS midwife?
    A2: Yes. BASS midwives deliver in hospital settings in partnership with OB/GYNs. This offers the comfort of natural support with the safety of medical backup if needed.

    Q3: What if my pregnancy becomes high-risk?
    A3: Our midwives collaborate closely with BASS OB/GYNs. If your pregnancy develops complications, your care can be seamlessly transitioned or co-managed with a physician.
