We Provide The Midwives Model of Care The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life events and includes: Monitoring the physical, psychological and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle; Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support; Minimizing technological interventions; and Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention. The application of this model has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section. © 1996-2001 Midwifery Task Force For more information on CNMs, please visit our About Us page or our Links page
