What Does a Midwife Do?
A midwife is a professional trained to assist with pregnancy and labor, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. We also conduct routine exams (pap) and assist families who want to deliver babies naturally. Midwives focus on the natural process of childbirth, offering a supportive environment for you and your baby.
When comparing a midwife to a doula, keep in mind that certified nurse midwives offer clinical care. This care is similar to some OB GYN services. Doulas, on the other hand, focus on providing emotional and physical support.
Prenatal Care: A Key to Healthy Pregnancy
Prenatal care visits are crucial for ensuring a healthy pregnancy. At Midwife and More, we offer regular check-ups, exams pap, and physical assessments to monitor your health. We help with your birth control plan (if applicable), create a custom birth plan, and prepare you for labor and delivery. Our team guides you through all stages of pregnancy and labor.
Labor and Delivery Support: Helping You Through Every Stage
Labor and delivery can be an emotional and physical journey. Our midwife services offer you support from early labor through to the delivery of the placenta. Whether you plan to have a vaginal birth at home or in a birthing center, we offer full support during childbirth.
Our labor and delivery services include:
- Labor Support: We help you understand each stage and provide continuous presence and care.
- Pain Management: We offer non-invasive methods and can consult on medical options with your OB GYN.
- Personalized Birth Plan: We build a plan around your preferences, whether for a home birth or hospital birth.
- Vaginal Birth Support: Assistance for a natural, safe delivery.
The Childbirth Process: A Natural and Empowering Experience
Childbirth is a powerful and natural event. Our midwifery services aim to be positive and empowering. This is true whether you choose a birthing center, a home birth, or work with an OB GYN in a hospital. We support all choices.
- Stages of Labor: Early labor, active labor, and beyond.
- Delivery of the Placenta: We monitor your well-being after birth to ensure safe recovery.
Postpartum Care: Supporting You After Birth
Once your baby is born, our team continues to care for both of you. Postpartum care includes newborn care, breastfeeding guidance, mental health support, and physical recovery assistance. Our midwife services ensure that you transition into motherhood feeling supported.
