What are good personality traits of a midwife?

"Warm and Fuzzy": My advise would have to be suited to your tastes. I would think a midwife would have to be warm, compassionate, supportive; however, you might prefer someone who is more stern(and I have no way of knowing what personality you prefer). So shop around until you find the midwife that fits with both you, and your needs.

Midwife: Altruism, empathy, plus good background experience.
