Today’s midwives have many tools at their disposal, and thus are better equipped to ensure healthy outcomes than in generations past. A 2005 study found that midwives had experienced an infant mortality rate similar to obstetricians, but that their patients required fewer invasive surgical interventions. Indeed, midwifery has an excellent track record. The Midwifery Model has been shown to lower birth complications resulting in C-sections and instances of birth trauma. Trained midwives are an alternative to traditional obstetricians, and provide an increasingly popular option for mothers and families. Midwives assist in all stages of the birth process, from maternal care, to childbirth, to infant wellness. Nurse-midwives, though not quite on a par with MDs, are highly educated professionals who may offer primary care services to women. As a healing art, midwifery has an excellent track record.
There are two types of midwife courses in Ohio: those that prepare candidates to be nurse-midwives and those that prepare them to be ‘direct entry midwives’ who have a more limited scope of practice. Those that do want to pursue midwifery training in Ohio will find that they have a lot of options. There are midwifery schools in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati as well as online.
