Why Should I Choose Midwifery for My Pregnancy?
When receiving medical care, especially during childbirth, you need care that aligns with your specific needs and decisions. This can be a wondrous experience, and with an advocate by your side making sure your prenatal and delivery plans are heard, your pregnancy can be that much more empowering. Your midwife can ensure you have access to the tools to navigate your options for natural childbirth or vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
Your midwife and doctors can also help you create a birth plan if you are unsure about your options. Your birth plan can include whether you want to get an epidural, use nitrous oxide, want to do delayed cord clamping, or even save your placenta for encapsulation.
What Does a Midwife Offer?
When choosing a midwife, you may find yourself choosing between many professionals with different credentials. At Mid-Atlantic Women’s Care, we offer the services of certified nurse-midwives (CNM). A CNM provides guidance from preconception to postpartum care and beyond. Our CNMs offer comprehensive ObGyn services to ensure our patients have the highest-quality care.
As you navigate your pregnancy, you may speak with both your ObGyn and your midwife frequently if you choose to work with one. While an ObGyn is a trained doctor, midwives are required to complete high-level nurse training with additional midwife programs. Both of these professionals can work together as a team to care for different needs and concerns throughout your pregnancy.
A key element of midwife care is the emotional and advocacy support you may receive. While your doctor can offer care for low and high-risk patients, midwives can provide an extra layer of support, which can give more peace of mind. Receiving each type of care can be valuable to your pregnancy and well-being.
