The Midwifery Model of Care​

As any mother who has experienced the midwifery model of care will tell you, midwives provide unparalleled physical, emotional and wellness support during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. 

​

The Midwifery Model of Care includes:

 

• Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
• Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
• Minimizing technological interventions
• Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention

The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
