Your inquiry is really twofold. The first inquiry is what you need to do to ensure that you have prenatal and birthing services available. You cannot compel or require the midwife to perform and should secure alternative services. You may have a claim to recover monies already paid for services which were not performed.
The second part of your inquiry is what you should do if the midwife sues you. You obviously should seek out counsel and provide all documentation which you have at your disposal relevant to the claims. The midwife will be compelled to produce a copy of any agreement upon which suit is brought; therefore (while helpful) the fact that you do not have the contract at hand should not be fatal to your defenses.
