Midwives of Washington


Welcome!

We're glad you're visiting the home of the Washington Chapter of the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Not only does this site serve Washington certified nurse-midwives, we also offer practical information to the public on midwifery and access to midwives throughout the state. Read on to find out why you might choose a midwife for yourself!

What are midwives? The word "midwife" means "with woman," because we provide health care to women throughout the lifecycle. Midwifery care includes prenatal care and attending births, postpartum and early infancy care, family planning services, and well-woman health exams. Midwives believe that puberty, pregnancy, birth and menopause – the major transitions of women's lives – should be safe, satisfying, and sacred.

Midwifery care is centered on the woman and her family to enhance normal physiologic and psychological events in her life, using technologic interventions and medications only as needed or desired by her.
