What is A midwife?
A midwife is a healthcare provider trained to provide obstetric and gynecological services, including primary care, prenatal and obstetric care, and routine gynecological care like annual exams and contraception. Midwives can do ultrasounds, order testing, prescribe medications and can send referrals.
