What is Midwifery

Midwifery is a specialized healthcare field centered on personalized and holistic care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Certified nurse-midwives prioritize informed choices, minimize unnecessary interventions, and ensure a supportive and dignified birthing experience. Often collaborating with obstetricians, midwives offer comprehensive, continuous care tailored to the unique needs of each woman.

Difference Between Midwives and Obstetricians

Certified nurse-midwives are registered nurses with additional graduate training in midwifery. They’re specialists whose professional philosophy focuses on providing pregnant women accessible, dignified care, emphasizing choices, minimizing medical interventions without sacrificing cutting-edge medical care. While doctors have to budget time to deal with pregnancy complications, midwives have the luxury of spending time on a broad spectrum of normal concerns that families have. At each prenatal visit, their goal is to discuss whatever is on a woman’s mind — from birth plans to choosing a car seat.

Why Choose Midwifery

Choose midwifery for a personalized and holistic approach to pregnancy, emphasizing informed choices and minimizing unnecessary medical interventions. Enjoy the luxury of time spent addressing normal concerns, comprehensive prenatal education, and a continuous, dignified care experience. The integrated model at practices like Ob/Gyn Specialists of the Palm Beaches ensures seamless collaboration between midwives and obstetricians for optimal support throughout the pregnancy journey.
