Midwives' Model
of Care
of Care
The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life
processes.
The Midwives Model of Care includes:
- Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother
throughout the childbearing cycle - Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care,
continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum
support - Minimizing technological interventions
- Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention
The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the
incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
