Women who choose a midwife are generally looking for a provider who will offer them choice in their healthcare options, and a partner in helping them make important decisions regarding their health. As midwives, we are experts in normal pregnancy and birth.
You can expect a special kind of care when you choose a midwife. We are present during the labor and birth process. We see ourselves as your partners and want to make sure you have an active voice in your care and birth experience.
Our philosophy is that life events such as puberty, birth and menopause are normal experiences in a woman's life--not something that needs to be treated like an emergency. Our goal is to educate you and provide support so you can make the best choices for you and your family.
At Ohio State, we have access to Ob/Gyn physicians in our offices and on the labor and delivery unit. We collaborate with perinatologists, anesthesiologists and NICU when needed.
