Finding a Doctor or Midwife Checklist

Where can I find possible candidates?

• Friends, family, neighbors -- anyone who has recently given birth.
• Your family doctor.
• The hospital or birthing center where you'd like to give birth.
• The American Medical Association's Online Doctor Finder, http://www.ama-assn.org (for MDs).
• The American College of Nurse-Midwives, http://www.acnm.org (for CNMs).
