What Is a Midwife?
A midwife is a specialized healthcare professional trained to provide expert care throughout pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) at Lifeline Medical Associates have advanced graduate-level education and national certification, equipping them to offer holistic care that addresses your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
PregnancyOur Midwifery Care Approach
Our team of CNMs works closely with Lifeline’s obstetricians and healthcare providers to offer seamless, coordinated care tailored to your needs. Midwifery services include:
- Routine gynecological exams and well-woman care
- Birth control counseling and prescriptions
- Prenatal care with personalized birth planning
- Labor support focusing on natural, low-intervention childbirth
- Postpartum care including lactation and nutritional guidance
While midwives specialize in supporting low-risk pregnancies and vaginal births, they collaborate closely with physicians for high-risk situations, including cesarean deliveries, multiples, and geriatric pregnancies, to ensure your safety and continuity of care.
