Midwifery Services

At BJC, certified nurse midwives can take care of your gynecologic and pregnancy care needs. As a partner in your care, our midwives believe in empowering you to take an active role in your own health care and treat you as a whole person.

For gynecologic services, they can perform annual women’s wellness exams and provide contraceptive counseling, family planning services, and menopausal management. For obstetrics, they offer fertility, nutrition and exercise counseling, and provide expert care during labor and delivery and care after birth for low-risk pregnant patients.

When you choose a midwife at BJC to manage your pregnancy care, you can expect:

• Personalized care from family planning through pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum.
• Close collaboration and immediate access to board-certified obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and neonatologists if the need arises.
• Prenatal appointments to prepare you for birth, including advice on nutrition and exercise, emotional support, and education on all stages of pregnancy and the postpartum period.
• Delivery in a hospital setting with low intervention and natural techniques for pain relief and care. Medical intervention and medication use is only considered when necessary or at the request of the birthing person.
