Midwifery

A Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) is a registered nurse who has completed a post-graduate program in nurse-midwifery and is nationally certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.

At OB-GYN ASSOCIATES, INC., nurse-midwives have been providing personalized care for mothers during normal pregnancy, labor and childbirth for over 30 years. Pregnancy and childbirth are a special and dynamic period of time, full of surprises, changes and adjustments. Our focus, through education, is to emphasize a positive approach to the changes babies bring.

During prenatal visits we counsel on nutrition, exercise, physical and emotional changes, sexuality, and breastfeeding. We assist in developing a personalized birth plan with respect for your personal needs and choices. Whether our choice is natural childbirth in the Alternative Birth Center or epidural anesthesia in the LDR unit, we are there for you. We are with you through the active phase of labor and delivery and advocate for your choices during the process. We support you during your postpartum course with breastfeeding and postpartum adjustment.

If unexpected complications arise, we consult with our expert obstetricians.

OB-GYN ASSOCIATES, INC. midwives also provide a wide spectrum of services for non-pregnant women, including Pap smears, HPV testing, infection checks, well-women gynecology and family planning.
