Certified nurse midwives are educated in both nursing and midwifery and are certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.Midwifery practice is the independent management of women's health care,focusing on pregnancy,childbirth,the postpartum period,care of the newborn,and family planning/gynecological needs.CNMs see healthy women experiencing an uncomplicated pregnancy.These women experience a lower rate of cesarean births and medical interventions.Continuity of prenatal care has a major effect on patient satisfaction.
