🧡Happy National Midwifery Week! 🧡
Midwifery care is associated with:
-higher patient satisfaction with their birthing experience
-fewer interventions
-lower cesarean rates and higher rates of vaginal birth
- higher breastfeeding rates
- the WHO has called for [re]expansion of midwifery models of care
Midwives make such a meaningful impact, offering personalized, compassionate care that supports the well-being of the birthing person, the baby, and the entire family. Their presence helps families feel seen, supported, and empowered during one of life’s most transformative times, and their work strengthens the health of our whole community.
I’m so grateful for the trust Louisville’s midwives place in me to support the families they care for, and I’m honored to be part of this circle of care.
