Midwifery

A midwife is a healthcare provider who is specifically trained to help women with uncomplicated, low-risk pregnancies. Midwives provide women with an individualized, holistic care plan that is developed based upon their physical, mental, emotional, and cultural needs.

Midwives have expertise and skills in supporting women throughout their pregnancies and can also help women during delivery and after childbirth.

Our Midwives Can:

Help with family planning and preconception care
Monitor you and your baby’s well-being throughout your pregnancy and after delivery
Conduct prenatal exams and routine tests
Help you determine your birth plan
Advise you on your diet, exercise, and medicines
Provide you with information about your pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn care
Provide practical and emotional support during labor
Deliver your baby
Provide you with referrals to doctors when needed

Collaborative care between midwives and physicians has proven to overwhelmingly improve maternal-newborn outcomes. Our midwife, Cassandra Elder, embraces the same philosophy that midwives in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada do; that every woman deserves a midwife and some need an obstetrician, too.
