Nurse midwifery is a specialized field within nursing that focuses on the care of women throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Nurse midwives are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who have completed a graduate-level education in midwifery and are certified by a recognized board. They provide a range of services from prenatal care to postnatal support, including gynecological exams, family planning, and health education.
