What is a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM)? 💙✨
Most people hear “midwife” and think pregnancy only — but CNMs are trained, licensed advanced practice clinicians who provide a full spectrum of healthcare across the lifespan.
Here’s what CNM care actually includes:
🌿 Obstetric Care
Pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and comprehensive support for growing families.
🌸 Gynecologic Care
Annual exams, contraception, fertility care, menstrual concerns, perimenopause/menopause, and sexual/reproductive health for all stages of life.
🩺 Primary Care
Yes — CNMs provide primary care too. That means wellness visits, screenings, prevention, and management of common health conditions.
👶 Newborn Care
Assessment and care for newborns in the first weeks of life, supporting the transition from birth into early infancy.
CNMs are trained to combine clinical excellence with evidence-based, whole-person care.
If you’ve ever wondered what makes midwifery different… this is it. 💛
