Midwives’ Model of Care |
|
The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.
The Midwives Model of Care 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, hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support in the location of her choice; Minimizing technological interventions; and Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention.
The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma and cesarean section.
