Meet the Midwives!!

Tiffani Hughson
Certified Nurse Midwife – CNM

Tiffani was born and raised in Illinois and is proud to call Missouri her new home since moving here last year. It was having two very different births, one with a traditional OB and the other with a Nurse Midwife that ignited the fire for her to pursue the path of becoming a Nurse Midwife. After attaining her BSN, she worked for 2 years as an OBGYN clinic nurse and then 2 years on labor and delivery before pursuing her MSN in Midwifery. In 2018 she completed her degree and moved her family to upstate NY where she worked in a small private practice with hospital privileges catching babies and caring for women across the lifespan from puberty to menopause.

With a few hundred births under her belt and experience providing women’s health care, we’re thrilled to have her as a part of our team. She’s looking forward to expanding gyne services to our families offering both traditional and alternative therapies. She often has her head in the latest research and when she doesn’t, she’s spending time with her husband of 24 years, her 2 young adult sons and their dog Penny.

Meet the Midwives!!
Robyn McHugh
Certified Nurse Midwife – APRN, CNM

Robyn McHugh has practiced as a nurse and midwife, serving the Mennonite community since 2008. Over the years, Robyn McHugh (CNM) has had the pleasure of serving hundreds of women choosing the midwifery model of care for their pregnancies and births. Shared decision making is offered to all the families Robyn McHugh serves, for she believes that only the mother herself can truly give “prenatal care” to her unborn child. Robyn sees her role as a nurse midwife as one of advocate, providing anticipatory guidance and education for women during their pregnancies and births. She encourages women to contact her anytime they have concerns regarding their pregnancies.

Robyn McHugh originally began practicing as a Certified Professional Midwife, attending births in low resource settings. However, Robyn McHugh believes that mothers deserve the highest level of training and education available, to ensure best outcomes for mothers and their newborns. Thus, Robyn McHugh went back to graduate level nursing school and completed her degree and certification as a Certified Nurse Midwife in 2016.

Teaching expectant parents how to buy, install, and use their first infant car seat is an important part of prenatal education. Reminding parents how to safely secure their newborn in the seat before discharge can also prepare them for a safe trip home from the hospital.

Baby toys, particularly educational baby toys, can cost a lot of money. Unfortunately, babies tend to grow tired of their toys or outgrow them so quickly that you may think you’ve bought them for nothing.
