Prenatal visits with a midwife are longer than typical OB visits, usually 30 to 60 minutes. The midwife will monitor your pregnancy, check blood pressure, measure your belly, listen to the baby's heartbeat, and spend time discussing nutrition, exercise, birth preferences, and any concerns. During labor, the midwife provides continuous support, encourages movement and positioning, and manages pain with non-pharmacological methods (water immersion, breathing techniques) or orders an epidural if requested. Postpartum visits typically include a check at one to two weeks and again at six weeks, with support for breastfeeding and recovery.
See a midwife for pregnancy care if you have a low-risk pregnancy and want a provider who emphasizes natural birth, patient education, and longer appointments. Midwives also provide well-woman care throughout your life: annual exams, Pap smears, breast exams, contraception counseling, fertility support, and menopause management. You might choose a midwife if you want a home birth or birth center birth, want to minimize medical interventions during labor, or simply prefer the midwifery model of care. If your pregnancy becomes high-risk, your midwife will collaborate with an OB/GYN.
