Certified nurse-midwives are registered nurses who have graduated from one of the midwifery programs accredited by the American College of Nurse Midwives. Nurse-Midwives provide prenatal care to expecting mothers, attend the birth and provide postpartum care to the mother and her baby. They specialize in normal pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. CNMs also provide general women’s health care and are able to write prescriptions and treat common women’s health issues. Certified nurse-midwives must pass a national certification exam and meet strict requirements by state health agencies.
