9. What are midwives?
The word “midwife” means “with woman,” because we provide health care to women throughout the lifecycle. Midwifery care includes prenatal care and attending births, postpartum and early infancy care, family planning services, and well-woman health exams. Midwives believe that puberty, pregnancy, birth and menopause – the major transitions of women’s lives – should be safe, satisfying, and sacred. Midwifery care is centered on the woman and her family to enhance normal physiologic and psychological events in her life, using technologic interventions and medications only as needed or desired by her.
10. What is a certified nurse midwife?
Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are licensed healthcare practitioners educated in the two disciplines of nursing and midwifery and are certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board. They provide primary healthcare to women of childbearing age including: prenatal care, labor and delivery care, care after birth, gynecological exams, newborn care, assistance with family planning decisions, preconception care, menopausal management and counseling in health maintenance and disease prevention. CNMs attend almost 8 percent of the births in the United States, of which, 96 percent take place in hospitals. Eighty percent of CNMs hold a master’s degree or higher.
