When it comes time to welcome your baby into the world, feeling heard, supported, and confident in your care matters. About 12% of American women choose to have a midwife perform their deliveries each year, and that number is rapidly growing as a greater number of women seek a more personalized approach.
If you’re considering a midwife for your pregnancy, our certified nurse midwives (CNMs) at FemmPro MIDWIFE provide experienced care for women who want a more natural, holistic approach to childbirth without sacrificing safety. A CNM is a licensed healthcare provider with advanced training in nursing and midwifery.
Choosing a CNM doesn’t mean forgoing medical expertise — it means gaining a partner in your birth experience who takes time to understand what matters most to you and your partner. Our midwife birth specialists are skilled in supporting low-risk pregnancies and managing labor and delivery with evidence-based care. Here’s what you can expect:
One of the first steps in working with our midwifery team is having a detailed conversation about your birth preferences and devising a tailored Birth Plan. This isn’t a generic checklist — it’s a real dialogue centered around your values, goals for pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and any concerns you may have.
Do you want an unmedicated birth? Are you open to certain interventions if needed? What types of support do you want available to you during labor? These are the kinds of questions our team explores with you to make sure you and your midwife are aligned on your Birth Plan.
Whether you're considering minimal intervention, or simply a more intimate experience, our CNMs listen and guide you through your options. We take a collaborative approach to empower you to be actively involved in your care so you feel confident and informed throughout the process.
Midwifery isn’t just for labor and delivery. Our midwives provide attentive, professional prenatal and postpartum care that’s focused on building a relationship of trust and open communication between you and your care team.
You receive regular checkups throughout your pregnancy, just as you would if you were seen by an obstetrician. We also offer guidance on nutrition and wellness during pregnancy, and you have plenty of time during your appointments to ask questions.
During labor, your CNM is right by your side offering emotional and physical support. That support depends entirely on your goals for the experience plus a calm and nurturing presence to help you stay grounded. The CNM will also monitor both you and your baby closely during the birth to ensure everything is progressing safely.
Should your birth circumstances change or if you require additional support at any time, our CNMs collaborate seamlessly with our in-house FemmPro OB/GYN team. This integrated model allows us to offer the personalized care of midwifery within the safety net of modern medical care.
Our midwives at FemmPro MIDWIFE bring years of clinical expertise, compassion, and dedication to every birth. We believe that childbirth is a deeply personal journey, and we’re here to help you navigate it with confidence and care. From your first prenatal visit through postpartum recovery, you have a support team that offers you continuity of care including wellness exams, contraception and routine GYN care, while always respecting your voice and honoring your choices.
If you’re considering a Midwife for your upcoming birth, contact us to schedule a consultation and learn more about how our CNMs can help you create a personalized birth experience that feels right for you. Our offices are conveniently located in Garden City and Massapequa, New York.
