Midwife Care Titusville

Your Trusted Guide Through Labor & Delivery

Midwives serve as an expectant mother’s partner through labor, delivery, and the first few weeks of a newborn’s life. When you start working with a midwife, you will want someone you feel you can trust and speak openly with. Your midwife will play a major role during the delivery process, and may even deliver the baby themselves—it is important that you feel comfortable speaking up and telling them what you need.

Benefits of Working with a Midwife

An obstetrician plays an important role in your maternity care, but unlike midwives, they do not have the time to walk patients through every stage of pregnancy and labor. Midwives work closely with obstetricians to coordinate a more comprehensive and attentive care plan.

Services provided by a midwife include:

Prenatal exams
Ordering tests
Advising expectant mothers on how to care for themselves and infants during pregnancy
Education parents on what to expect during labor
Delivering babies
Counseling and emotional support
Creating a birth plan based on the mother’s expectations and preferences

Midwives do not typically perform C-sections. If you prefer to have a vaginal birth, working with a midwife throughout your pregnancy to prepare for the event may be in your best interests.
