What exactly does a midwife do?

Question

Answer 1

A midwife sees a pregnant women throughout her entire pregnancy. They do what is called prenatal exams. They do tests themselves to make sure the mother and the baby are both doing well. They help the women deliver her baby at home so she can be in control of her whole experience. My midwife mostly deals with water birth because it is a less invasive method. A competent midwive has helped and delivered over two hundred babies. They also guide the women into making informed and healthy decisions for her baby. After the baby is delivered they continue to watch over the baby and the mother for six weeks. A midwife does not deliver in a hospital, a widwife that delivers in a hospital is called a doula, and a doctor is still in control. I hope that answers your questions, good luck!

Answer 6

The below link should tell you all you need to know.

The two longer answers here are more or less spot on! A midwife is assigned to a mother at the begining of her pregnancy and monitors with regular visits and chackups to help with a individual programme of care. A midwife will also identify high risk pregnancies (the ones with a high percentage of complication) and get relevant specialists involved. They supervise and assist with the labour monitoring the fetus condition and the health of the mother. The midwife also advises after the birth on bathing, feeding and other care the bay will require.

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

A midwife is assigned to a pregnant woman near the start of her pregnancy. They will do regular checkups on the expectant mother, answering any questions she may have about her pregnancy and the birth. The will also discuss the type of trestment the mother wants during the birth, for example whether she wants to be at home or in hospital, and whather she will have painkillers or not.

The midwife will deliver the baby, as well as providing reassurance and guiding the mother through the birth. The midwife and mother often develop a bond, providing the mother with extra reassurance during the birth. Often, no doctor will be required unless there is a complication.
