Why Consider a Midwife for Your Pregnancy
There are a number of reasons for the recent increase in the use of certified midwives for childbirth. Pregnancy is both a joyful and a challenging time, and many women appreciate the accessibility and continuity of care provided by a dedicated midwife during their pregnancy.
While physicians are often pulled in many directions – including emergencies and surgeries – a midwife focuses solely on her pregnant patients throughout their pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum period. This offers women a sense of continuity and support, by having another woman to whom they can always turn to address questions, concerns, and decision making options.
A dedicated midwife offers pregnant patients caring, understanding, and personalized support during every phase of the miracle of childbirth. Your midwife will be with you every step of the way – from prenatal care, through pregnancy and delivery, to breastfeeding and postpartum assistance.
A midwife develops an individual relationship with each woman – and typically remains on call and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A highly trained certified nurse midwife also has the medical expertise and training to evaluate any change in your circumstance, and will collaborate with our obstetricians to ensure the most advanced medical care when necessary.
When you choose the services of a midwife at Santa Fe OBGYN, you and your baby will receive the highest standard of care, in a compassionate and nurturing environment – for the best and most natural pregnancy and delivery experience possible. And if the intervention of an obstetrician is needed – for surgery, C-section, or other unforeseen circumstance – our Obstetricians are always on call to assist whenever needed.
If you are pregnant, or trying to become pregnant, and are looking for an OBGYN or Certified Nurse Midwife to be by your side during pregnancy, delivery, and post partum, the compassionate obstetrics team at Santa Fe OBGYN warmly welcomes you to schedule a visit and meet us. We will take the time to listen to your goals, answer your questions, and address your concerns. Then we will put a personalized pregnancy and delivery plan into place to ensure that you receive the highest standard of medical care, while bringing your baby into the world in the way you envision.
