I had collaborated with midwives not only as a labor and delivery nurse, but also as a nurse practitioner. I knew they would look at care more holistically and truly listen to my goals for delivery and the outcomes I wanted.
I delivered here at UAMS with Joanie and had a wonderful experience. Even though I was an experienced mother—this was my third pregnancy and my third delivery—Joanie took the time at each prenatal visit to really talk with me, understand my concerns, and identify any issues I was having or additional support I needed, whether that was emotional or medical support.
She truly listened to me throughout my prenatal visits, during the delivery process, and afterward. My certified nurse midwife made my delivery special by incorporating my husband into the process and helping him be more involved in both the labor and delivery experience.
For any mother who is thinking about becoming pregnant or who is currently pregnant, I would strongly encourage you to reach out and talk to midwives. They will partner with you throughout pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum, and they provide full-scope midwifery care through menopause and beyond.
They really can be your provider for life.
