What is OB care with a midwife?

Obstetrics or OB care with a midwife (also called OB-midwife care) is one of the best ways to ensure a healthy pregnancy for you and your new addition. Certified midwives at FemmPro MIDWIFE receive extensive education and training, with a goal of natural childbirth whenever possible. They can help safely deliver your baby at a hospital.

Which OB-midwife care services are available?

Some of the many obstetrics services available with midwives at FemmPro MIDWIFE include:

Routine prenatal care
Pelvic exams and Pap tests
Chronic disease management
Health education
Ultrasound
Genetic testing
Blood tests
Urine testing
Other lab tests
Labor and delivery
Postpartum care

Midwives at FemmPro MIDWIFE help ensure you and your baby stay healthy before, during, and after pregnancy. OB-midwife care can detect possible problems before they become serious.

What happens during obstetrics care with a midwife?

During OB-midwife appointments at FemmPro MIDWIFE, your midwife assesses your weight, blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs. They ask about your medical history, medications you might take, family history of disease, and past diagnoses you may have.

Your midwife completes a physical examination to assess your overall health, plus a pelvic exam and Pap test to evaluate your reproductive health and screen for cervical cancer if necessary. Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, your midwife might listen to your baby’s heartbeat and measure your abdomen to assess your baby’s growth.

They may recommend specific diagnostic tests, such as urine tests, blood tests, ultrasound, or genetic testing. The further along you are in your pregnancy, the more often you see a midwife for OB evaluations and necessary treatment.

What should I expect during my labor and delivery?

Your FemmPro MIDWIFE midwife follows your labor and delivery birth plan whenever possible.

Your midwife can coach you through natural childbirth in a hospital if that’s your goal. They monitor you and your baby’s health during and after delivery and continue to care for you postpartum to ensure optimal outcomes for you and your new addition.

To receive quality OB-midwife care at FemmPro MIDWIFE, call the nearest office or book an appointment online today.

Your health is extremely important and feeling comfortable with your doctor and the process of your body is the least of my concerns. I enjoy going to see Nancy and the team at femmpro every visit is super welcoming and just feels right. I honestly freak out for random reasons and always welcomed and ready to be seen and heard and understood but more importantly educated ! Highly suggested this location to every women I met since I been with femm pro for 3 years now.

One of the best and kindest Doctors I ever met. No matter how many questions I had he never rushed me or made my questions even if they were because of my anxiety, he reassured me I was doing just fine and so was this pregnancy. Very thorough.

When i went to the first doctor appointment with him. He made everything as comfortable and feel like I’m not worried about anything. He always open to respond my questions when i asked for. Every time i leave, he always make sure if i do understand and not confusing at all. I am thankful to have him as doctor during my pregnancy journey . I would do this all over again with him again. I recommend you to pick him as your doctor! Thank you Dr. behar

When I called the office for an appointment the receptionist told me they were completely booked but Dr. Linder called me back personally and said that I was to come in to see him this is very rare for a doctor to call the patient it was much appreciated.
This is the worst run medical office I have ever been too. The office manager is a nightmare, nasty and uncooperative,no empathy, For this reason I no longer go to this doctor who was my doctor for three pregnancy. Ages 35, 34, 31. now so heartbreaking,

Ms.Nancy is simply the best. I was scared throughout my entire pregnancy she reassured me that everything will be ok. Her energy is like no other she has a calm spirit and I gravitated towards her. She was gentle in every test performed on me. She answered every questions, she is easy to reach she responds to you very quickly via email or phone call. I just love her and her work.

After 22 years of seeing Dr Behar, I am excited to share that he is still professional, knowledgeable , and courteous. I still like a human being and not a file number! Dr Behar delivered my child nearly 22 years ago and he’s been my physician throughout my pregnancy. Please go and see for yourself and experience the happiness of being in a tranquil and serene environment - I most definitely and positively guarantee it!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Behar for over 10 years for a reason. He delivered both of my current children and will be delivering my next as this is my 3rd pregnancy. His bedside manner is of the utmost professional yet he makes the patient feel completely relaxed in his care. He’s attentive and his years of experience in the field truly shows at delivery day. His current PA Kayla is wonderful and very knowledgeable as well. Highly recommend Dr. Behar if you’re looking for a new OBGYN.
