The Midwives Model of Care™ is a fundamentally different approach to pregnancy and childbirth than hospital-based obstetrics.
Midwifery care is uniquely nurturing, hands-on care before, during, and after birth.
What is a Midwife?
Midwives are health care professionals specializing in pregnancy and childbirth who develop a trusting relationship with their clients, which results in confident, supported labor and birth.
While there are different types of midwives practicing in various settings, all midwives are trained to provide comprehensive prenatal care and education, guide labor and birth, address complications, and care for newborns.
According to research, care led by Midwives gets results that are as good or better than physician-led care.
The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.
