What is a midwife?

A Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) is an advanced practice nurse specializing in labor and delivery and gynecological health. A midwife provides women's health services beyond the delivery room, including:

• • • Prenatal and postpartum care for a smooth journey before and after birth
    • Vaginal births with a natural approach, if desired
    • Breastfeeding support for a positive start
    • Gynecologic care across all ages
    • Reproductive and sexual health services
    • Family planning and contraception options tailored to you
    • Peri- and postmenopausal care for ongoing wellness

Why choose midwifery?

Midwives offer mothers a more natural approach to childbirth and are a great option for low-risk, healthy pregnancies. According to the American College of Nurse-Midwives, benefits of receiving midwifery care include:

• • • Decreased risk of needing a cesarean
    • Reduced rates of labor induction and augmentation
    • Reduced use of regional anesthesia
    • Decreased infant mortality rates
    • Decreased risk of preterm birth
    • Decreased third and fourth-degree perineal tears
    • Lower costs for both clients and insurers
    • Increased chances of having a positive start to breastfeeding
    • Increased satisfaction with the quality of care

Choosing the care of a midwife empowers you to embrace a personalized childbirth experience with compassionate, expert support. We’re here to guide you through every step of your birth journey, helping you take charge of your plan with confidence and peace of mind.
