Happy National Midwifery Week! This week is set aside each year to recognize essential midwifery work.
🧷🩺🍼

According to the American College of Nurse-Midwives, midwives provide care "during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period; sexual and reproductive health; gynecologic health; and family planning services, including preconception care. Midwives also provide primary care for individuals from adolescence throughout the lifespan as well as care for the healthy newborn during the first 28 days of life."

Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Midwives (CMs) must go through relevant accredited graduate programs and obtain certification from the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB). RNs then become CNMs, while others are designated as CMs.

Thank you, midwives, for all you do! ❤️
