Midwives provide care to women through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery, often as an alternative or complement to obstetrician-led care in hospitals, birth centers, or home births. Their responsibilities center on prenatal care visits and hands-on labor and delivery management, supported by ongoing clinical assessment of maternal and fetal wellbeing. They also spend considerable time on patient education, helping expectant parents understand what to expect, and maintain thorough electronic health records throughout the pregnancy.
