Do nurse-midwives only deliver babies?
Certified nurse-midwives take care of women throughout their lifecycle—from puberty through menopause. We do well-woman care including annual GYN exams and pap smears, birth control counseling and initiation, evaluation and treatment of sexually transmitted infections and vaginal infections, management of abnormal pap smears, interpretation of lab results, endometrial biopsies, IUD insertion and removal, evaluation and initial treatment of pelvic pain and infertility, among other things.
