Specialty
Description
A Certified Nurse Midwife, a registered nurse with additional training as a Midwife, provides health care to women, especially during pregnancy and childbirth. Midwifery is based on the understanding that pregnancy and childbirth are natural processes and health care should be personalized to meet the needs of a woman and her family. A Midwife typically provides prenatal care, assists the birth process, and offers emotional and psychological support to women and their families during the birth experience. Most can also perform gynecological checkups, including breast examinations and pap smears, provide birth-control advice and manage the specific needs of menopause.
