Is a Certified Nurse Midwife Right for You?

At Women’s Care, we know everyone’s health needs are unique. That’s why we offer a range of options—including midwifery—to support you through every stage of life. For those seeking a personal, natural approach to pregnancy and routine care, midwifery can be a wonderful complement to OBGYN services.

What Is a Certified Nurse Midwife?

Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice providers with specialized training in women’s health, pregnancy, and childbirth. They offer comprehensive reproductive and gynecologic care, including family planning, preconception counseling, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and newborn care. CNMs also provide primary care services like annual exams, prescriptions and wellness guidance.

Midwifery emphasizes partnership. Your care is shaped around your needs, preferences, and goals with a focus on education and shared decision making so you feel informed and empowered at every step.

Collaborative Care

At Women’s Care, our CNMs and OBGYNs work side by side to provide seamless, team-based care. This collaboration means you always have the right level of support. If a pregnancy becomes high-risk or a complication arises, an OBGYN can step in seamlessly without interrupting your care or comfort.

Together, midwifery and OBGYN services offer a complete spectrum of care, blending the personalized attention of midwifery with the advanced expertise of obstetrics.

Is Midwifery Right for You?

Midwifery may be a good fit if you have a healthy, low-risk pregnancy and prefer a holistic, low-intervention approach. Many patients appreciate the extra time CNMs spend in appointments, their natural coping techniques and their dedication to collaborative decision making.

Your Care, Your Way

At Women’s Care, you don’t have to choose between midwifery and OBGYN care. Our CNMs work closely with our physicians to ensure your care is safe, personalized and backed by the full expertise of our team.
