Shannen Coleman shares why she used a midwife.
More and more women are choosing a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) as their pregnancy and childbirth experience partner and as a health care provider for gynecological care throughout their lives.
CNMs are licensed health care practitioners educated in nursing and midwifery.
A midwife takes a holistic approach, addressing a woman's emotional and spiritual needs as well as her physical needs.
At UM St. Joseph Medical Center, our CNMs provide moms-to-be with warmth and reassurance through every stage of pregnancy.
The certified nurse-midwives of UM SJMG Women's Health Associates have admitting privileges, and they are certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.
Among the services they provide are:
Our midwives consult with our OB/GYN physicians if there is a problem that may put mother or baby at risk.
