Nurse midwifery is a specialized field of nursing focused on providing care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Nurse midwives are trained to support natural childbirth and offer comprehensive care, including prenatal check-ups, labor assistance, and postnatal support. They emphasize a holistic approach, addressing both physical and emotional needs. Nurse midwives hold advanced degrees and are certified to practice independently or alongside obstetricians. They can prescribe medications, perform certain medical procedures, and provide education on family planning and reproductive health. Their goal is to empower women and promote healthy pregnancies and births.
