What Does A Midwife Do?

The birth of your baby is a treasured, important, and pivotal experience for many women. During this time, women may choose to have a professional with them to assist with pain relief techniques and to keep a patient relaxed throughout labor. By speaking to our team at Columbus Women’s Care about the benefits of a midwife, you can start the process of determining if a midwife is right for you.

What Services Do Midwives Provide?

In most cases, women decide to have a midwife with them during the birth of their baby. However, this is not where their job ends. Midwives can also help women throughout their life with a wide range of gynecological health concerns. They encourage general health check-ups and regular physical examinations, and can help prior to or after one’s pregnancy. Some midwives also assist with treatment or management of sexually transmitted diseases. As you can see, the midwife helps in many areas of a woman’s reproductive life outside of just the birth of their baby!

What Certification Do Midwives Have?

At Columbus Women’s Care, we have Carol Thomas a nurse-midwive who can assist patients of the practice. Carol is a trained and registered nurses who obtained additional, more advanced training to become more effective and experienced professionals in the area of midwifery. Our nurse midwives can be utilized by our patients to help before, during, and after pregnancy. Due to the nature of a midwife’s job, they are readily available and on-call for when women go into labor, and can help with private deliveries as prepared in one’s birthing plan.
