What is a hospital midwife do?

Midwives may work with a variety of people, depending on their practice. Some midwives work in conjunction with other midwives or with physicians (usually OB-GYNs but also family practice, etc.) Some midwives have apprentices who are studying to become midwives. Some hire assistants or doulas, and some work with registered nurses. A midwife may work alone or in group practices.
