nurse midwives
Nurse midwives are healthcare professionals who specialize in providing care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They are trained to offer a range of services, including prenatal check-ups, labor support, and postnatal care. Nurse midwives often focus on natural childbirth and may work in hospitals, birthing centers, or home settings.
In addition to assisting with deliveries, nurse midwives also provide gynecological care, family planning, and education on reproductive health. They hold advanced degrees in nursing and midwifery, which allows them to work independently or alongside obstetricians and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care for women.
