Midwives are highly skilled professionals who provide healthcare to women before, during, and after pregnancy. They work from the “midwifery model” which sees pregnancy and birth as normal life processes. Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs), Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs), and Direct-Entry Midwives are types of midwives with different training and sometimes scope of practice.
