Midwives provide advice, care and support for women and their babies during pregnancy, labour and the early postnatal period. You will help women to make their own decisions about the care and services they access and will provide health education and parenting advice until care is transferred to a health visitor. During pregnancy, duties of a midwife include educating women about what’s going on with their bodies and their babies. They discuss hormonal changes, and the midwife examines the mom when necessary and monitors foetal growth through the mom’s belly measurements. Midwife or midwives are specialists in normal pregnancy and birth. Their role is to look after pregnant women and their babies throughout a phase of antenatal care, during labour and birth, and for up to 28 days after the baby has been born. A midwifery degree is one of the most intense courses both mentally and academically out there.
