What makes Midwives different?
PERSONALIZED CARE
Midwives are known for their personalized, patient-centered approach, which involves longer appointment times and a focus on building strong relationships and trust. This allows for comprehensive discussions about your health, preferences, and concerns, ensuring that your care is tailored to your unique needs and values.
HOLISTIC APPROACH
Emphasizing a holistic, low-intervention philosophy, midwives support the body's natural processes and offer a variety of options for labor and delivery. This approach prioritizes your comfort and autonomy, promoting a more empowering and supportive birth experience that aligns with your personal preferences.
COLLABORATIVE CARE
If necessary, Midwives collaborate closely with obstetricians and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care. While they expertly manage low-risk pregnancies and births, they also have access to a network of specialists for consultation if complications arise, blending personalized midwifery care with additional medical expertise when needed.

Common misconceptions about Midwifery
Myth: Midwives Only Care for Pregnant Women
Midwives provide a range of services beyond pregnancy care, including well-woman exams, gynecological services, and menopause management. They are trained to support women’s health at all stages of life.
Myth: Midwifery Care is Less Safe Than OBGYN Care
Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM’s) are highly-trained professionals who specialize in low-risk pregnancies and natural births. Only if necessary do they collaborate, consult or refer to Obstetricians or Maternal Fetal Specialists.
Myth: Midwives Don’t Provide Pain Management
Midwives offer various pain management options, including epidurals, nitrous oxide, and hydrotherapy. They support your choices and work to ensure you are comfortable throughout labor and delivery. Midwives also provide hands-on comfort measures & positioning techniques as needed!
Myth: Midwifery is Only for Women Who Want Natural Births
While spontaneous vaginal delivery is preferred for most patients, Midwives also support patients who choose repeat cesareans, natural or medical inductions when indicated. Midwifery care is flexible and tailored to your preferences, with your informed consent always being top of mind.
Myth: Midwives Don’t Handle Emergencies
Midwives are trained to handle many emergency situations during labor and birth. They are well prepared to provide safe, effective care in various scenarios.
Myth: You Can Only Have a Home Birth with a Midwife
Midwives are available for hospital, birth center or home births. They provide comprehensive care in both settings, ensuring a supportive experience regardless of where you choose to give birth. DWW only supports in-hospital births.
