Nurse-Midwifery Service
A certified nurse-midwife is an experienced
registered nurse who has completed an accredited
education program in nurse-midwifery and has passed
a national certifying exam. Certified nurse-midwives
provide prenatal care, deliver babies and offer
regular gynecologic care for healthy women with
uncomplicated pregnancies.
Penn’s nurse-midwives believe that birth
is a natural and normal process. They take a personal
approach to childbirth, stressing the importance
of educational and emotional support for parents.
Your nurse-midwife will provide you with comprehensive
care, including childbirth education, nutrition
and exercise counseling, breastfeeding instruction
and early parenting information.
