Here is how a nurse-midwife can be of service to you.

What Certified Nurse-Midwives Do

Much like an OB or a doctor, a certified nurse-midwife provides care after, during, or before pregnancy. A certified nurse-midwife will:


- Perform gynecologic exams.

- Offer preconception and planning care.
- Order tests and prenatal exams.
- Keep tabs on your psychological and physical health.
- Assist birth plans.
- Advise regarding meds, exercise, diet, and staying healthy.
- Counsel and educate regarding newborn care, childbirth, and pregnancy.
- Give practical and emotional support in the event of labor.
- Discharge and admit you to the hospital.
- Baby delivery.
- Set up doctor referrals when necessary.

- Certified Nurse-Midwives - Certified Nurse-Midwives are known as registered nurses who passed a national exam and graduated a nurse-midwifery program. Certified Nurse-Midwives are capable of practicing in the District of Columbia and all 50 states.

Common Certified Nurse-Midwife Misconceptions

Although there's a wide range of confusion regarding certified nurse-midwifery and their scope of work, one of the major misconceptions people have about certified nurse-midwives is that they only perform work in one's home. However, this cannot be further from the truth. Certified nurse-midwives can perform tasks in a hospital as any medical professional, which makes their job easier because they're surrounded by the tools and networks one needs for your health's benefit.
