Web Definition: Midwife
Midwifery is a blanket term used to describe a number of different types of health practitioners, other than doctors, who provide prenatal care to expecting mothers, attend the birth of the infant & provide postnatal care to the mother & infant. Nurse-midwives also provide gynecological care to women of all ages. Practitioners of midwifery are known as midwives, a term used in reference to both women & men. Most are independent practitioners who work with obstetricians when the need arises .They usually deal with normal births only but are trained to recognise & deal with deviation from the norm. If something abnormal is discovered during prenatal care, the patient is sent to an obstetrician. Other midwives will deal with abnormal births, including breech birth. Historically, midwifery has been one of the few medical practices dominated by female practitioners. From Agnodice in ancient Greece to the 18th century in Europe, the care of mothers & delivery of infants has been regarded, both by patients & by the medical profession, as appropriately carried out by women.
