About Midwifery Care
A midwife is a traditional birth attendant that literally means “with woman”.
Midwives are recognized throughout the world as the most appropriate care providers for most women during the childbearing years, and for continued annual wellness care. An estimated 80% of the world’s babies are caught into the hands of midwives. With a midwife you can experience high quality, personalized care, pride and self-empowerment through the knowledge offered about your own health.
As a trained professional, midwives can offer expert care, education, counseling, and support to a woman and her family. Midwives are experts in the “normal” occurrences of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Midwives have a superb record of safety and numerous studies have directly associated midwifery with excellent outcomes. The five nations with the world’s lowest infant mortality rates, and lowest rates of technological intervention have midwives attending 70% of all births without a physician in the birth room.
“I can not tell you how much I appreciate all that you did for me and baby before, during and after the birth. We were truly blessed in every way when we chose you as our midwife! Thank you so much for letting me call anytime and for being there for me when I needed it the most! ”
