The Midwifery Model of Care
“The midwifery model aims to empower women by helping them master the challenges of pregnancy and birth. Midwives traditionally view pregnancy and birth as healthy, normal events, albeit ones demanding supervision and care. In the midwifery model, the childbearing woman has the central role. The midwife watches over her, serves her, supports her, provides information, and facilitates the natural process. Decision making is collaborative, and treatment, in most cases, begins with what the woman can do for herself.”
