Midwifery Q & A

What Exactly is Midwifery?

Midwifery is a field of medicine that focuses on providing care for women of childbearing age. The field includes providing prenatal care during all three trimesters, delivering the child, and supporting the mother during the postpartum period.

Who Provides Midwifery Services?

Midwives are medical providers who provide midwifery services. They are typically nurses that have advanced training in caring for pregnant mothers and their babies.

What Should Expecting Mothers Look For When Selecting a Midwife?

When choosing a midwife, an expecting mother should first look for a provider who is well trained and respected by other medical providers. Midwives can earn a master’s degree in their nursing specialty, and they can also become board-certified. Both are marks of highly qualified midwives.

What is the Difference Between an Obstetrician and Midwife?

Both obstetricians and midwives specialize in providing healthcare for pregnant mothers. As medical doctors, obstetricians have more training and expertise than midwives.Obstetricians are able to handle high-risk pregnancies and difficult complications.
