What is the Midwifery Model of Care?

Welcome to our midwifery practice, where we take great pride in being experts in normal physiological birth. We are committed to providing exceptional care guided by the midwifery model, respecting and supporting the natural process of childbirth. Our practice is founded on a deep respect for the birth journey, empowering families with personalized care and the information they need for a safe and positive experience. What is the Midwifery Model of Care? We thought you'd never ask:

The Midwifery Model of Care is a holistic, woman-centered approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care that prioritizes personalized, evidence-based, and physiological support. It differs from the traditional medical model of care, which often treats birth as a condition to be managed rather than a natural life event.

 

Key Principles of the Midwifery Model of Care:

1. Informed Choice & Shared Decision-Making

• Midwives provide comprehensive education so women can make fully informed choices about their care.

• Women are seen as the primary decision-makers in their birth experience.

2. Continuity of Care & Personalized Support

• Women receive consistent, one-on-one care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

• Midwives build long-term relationships with families, offering emotional, physical, and informational support.

3. Trust in Physiological Birth

• Pregnancy and birth are viewed as normal, natural processes, not medical conditions.

• Midwives support minimal intervention, allowing birth to unfold without unnecessary medical interference.

4. Holistic & Preventative Care

• Care includes nutrition, emotional well-being, lifestyle guidance, and natural remedies alongside clinical care.

• Midwives monitor maternal and fetal health while prioritizing preventative care to reduce complications.

5. Respect for Bodily Autonomy & Birth Preferences

• Women’s rights and autonomy are honored at every step.

• Birth choices, including home birth, water birth, unmedicated birth, or hospital transfers, are respected.

6. Evidence-Based & Culturally Sensitive Care

• Midwifery care is based on scientific research, traditional knowledge, and cultural respect.

• Midwives work collaboratively with other healthcare providers when needed.

7. Postpartum & Breastfeeding Support

• Midwifery care extends well beyond birth, with comprehensive postpartum care to support recovery, bonding, and breastfeeding.

• Home visits and emotional support are integral to ensuring a smooth transition into motherhood.

 

Benefits of the Midwifery Model of Care:

• Lower rates of C-sections, inductions, and interventions

• Higher rates of successful VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)

• Increased maternal satisfaction and empowerment

• Improved breastfeeding success and postpartum well-being

 

This model isn’t just about birth—it’s about honoring and trusting women, protecting their choices, and ensuring they feel safe, respected, and empowered in their journey to motherhood.
