Why the right scrubs matter for midwives
Midwives are constantly moving: supporting patients, assisting births, responding quickly, and adapting to unpredictable situations. Your scrubs need to work with you, not against you.

- Frequent bending, lifting, and stretching
- Warm, high-pressure environments
- Strict hygiene and laundering requirements
Poor-quality scrubs lead to overheating, restricted movement, and constant adjusting. The right pair becomes something you forget you’re wearing.
