What Is a Midwife?
Midwifery is a specialized form of nursing that focuses on the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth. Midwife services are an important component of the care offered by the certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) at Dekalb Women's Specialists. Our CNMs also provide a comprehensive range of primary healthcare services for women from adolescence onward. These professionals have considerable experience and expertise in general nursing as well as midwifery and hold degree-level qualifications and accreditation.
Our Midwife Services
Midwives are best known for providing care during pregnancy and childbirth. If you’re planning to breastfeed your baby, your midwife can help you get started in the hospital after your baby is born.
Our midwives conduct comprehensive assessments, make diagnoses, and treat pregnant women experiencing common problems like morning sickness, fatigue, backache, and acid reflux. They conduct physical exams and can prescribe medications for controlled substances and medical devices. They can also order and interpret diagnostic and laboratory tests.
Additional services available from the midwives at Dekalb Women's Specialists include:
- Family planning
- Preconception care
- Health promotion
- Disease prevention
- Individualized wellness counseling
