Midwifery Care

Become an InterMed patient today!

Personalized pregnancy and women’s health care, grounded in trust and respect

InterMed offers midwifery care with experienced, board-certified nurse-midwives (CNMs). Our midwives provide evidence-based, personalized care for patients through every stage of life – from adolescence through menopause – with a special focus on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

 

During pregnancy, your CNM team works closely with InterMed’s Ob-Gyn physicians and other members of your care team. This collaborative approach gives you the relationship-centered care of midwifery with the support of a broader multidisciplinary team throughout pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care.

 

Our CNMs believe in forming close, trusting relationships with patients and families, honoring bodily autonomy, and supporting pregnancy and birth as natural processes.

Collaborative Care Throughout Your Pregnany

Whenever possible, your prenatal and postpartum visits will be scheduled with our CNM team. At times, you may also see another member of your InterMed care team, such as a nurse practitioner or Ob-Gyn physician.

 

When it’s time to deliver your baby, CNMs and physicians share Labor & Delivery coverage. Depending on when you are in the hospital, your care may be provided by a CNM or an Ob-Gyn physician. This collaborative approach helps ensure you have consistent access to care throughout pregnancy and a dedicated provider when you need one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a certified nurse-midwife (CNM)?

CNMs are advanced practice nurses who have completed a master’s or doctorate-level education program in midwifery and passed a national certifying exam. They specialize in low- to moderate-risk pregnancy care, physiologic labor, and birth, using evidence-based, holistic approaches. Midwives focus on caring for the whole person – physical, emotional, spiritual, and social health – while avoiding unnecessary interventions. Studies show that midwife-led care achieves outcomes equal to physician-led care.

What is the difference between a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and a doula?

Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice nurses who provide pregnancy care, birth support, gynecologic services, and family planning.

 

Doulas are trained professionals who provide physical and emotional support during labor and postpartum but do not provide medical care.

Will a midwife deliver my baby?

Your delivery may be attended by a midwife or an Ob-Gyn physician. Our midwives care for patients in Labor & Delivery during the day, while physicians provide overnight coverage. Because labor is unpredictable, we cannot guarantee that a midwife will be present when you deliver.
