Midwifery

Midwifery focuses on supporting women through all stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery, while also offering general gynecologic and reproductive care. A certified nurse midwife (CNM) is a highly trained healthcare professional who combines medical expertise with a holistic approach to women’s health, often making the healthcare journey more collaborative.

CNMs put a heavy emphasis on personalized care and shared decision-making. Many women choose CNMs for their ability to provide a more natural, patient-centered approach to pregnancy and childbirth, valuing their focus on emotional well-being alongside physical health.

At Upstate Community OBGYN & Midwifery, we are proud to offer comprehensive care through our team of certified nurse midwives, who are dedicated to understanding and addressing your unique needs. Whether guiding you through a peaceful birthing experience or providing routine gynecologic care, our CNMs work to ensure your comfort and confidence at every step.

Gynecology & Well-Woman Care

Certified nurse midwives provide comprehensive gynecologic care for women at every stage of life, from adolescence through later adult years. Building a relationship with a CNM early not only ensures consistent, preventive care but also offers an opportunity to prepare for the future. Many women choose to establish this connection before deciding to have children, allowing time to focus on education, wellness, and informed decision-making.

Our certified nurse midwives offer a wide range of services to support your health and well-being, including:

By blending expert knowledge with personalized care, our CNMs are dedicated to empowering women with the information and support they need to make confident choices about their health.

Prenatal Care

Certified nurse midwives are dedicated to providing comprehensive and personalized prenatal care throughout pregnancy, helping to enhance your birthing experience. These appointments go beyond routine checkups, offering an open and supportive environment where mothers-to-be can discuss their personal needs, previous birth experiences, and desires for their current pregnancy.

Your CNM will take the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions, ensuring that you feel heard, supported, and confident every step of the way. In addition, they will also provide thorough education, empowering you to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and birth plan. Using a compassionate approach, your CNM will work to create a partnership centered on trust and respect, tailoring care to meet your unique preferences and goals for pregnancy and childbirth.

Labor & Delivery

During labor, certified nurse midwives (CNMs) provide exceptional care by closely monitoring the health and well-being of both the mother and baby while offering personalized emotional and physical support. Their goal is to create a warm, encouraging environment where mothers feel valued and reassured throughout the entire childbirth process.

With a deep respect for the mother’s birth preferences, CNMs use various techniques to promote a comfortable and positive birthing experience. This may include using relaxation exercises, breathing methods, and movement strategies that can help reduce discomfort and support labor progression. Our CNMs actively listen to and engage with the mother, providing positive guidance while addressing any concerns along the way. Their compassionate approach ensures that every mother has a childbirth experience that prioritizes her unique needs and contributes to the joy of bringing new life into the world.
