Maternity Care

At Women’s Health at Memorial Hospital you have a choice of receiving your care either from our certified nurse midwives or from one of our board-certified physicians.

Your initial visit will be scheduled with one of our midwives who will explain what you can expect during your pregnancy, perform a physical exam, and order any necessary laboratory or ultrasounds. As a convenience to our patients, we are able to obtain the necessary specimens for any labs while you are here in our office and send them to our laboratory for processing.

The midwife will explain the difference in philosophies between midwives and physicians and you can then choose your caregiver who will follow you through your pregnancy, perform your delivery (subject to the on-call schedule) and your postpartum exam.
