Tidewater Physicians Multispecialty Group (TPMG)

Certified Nurse Midwives from TPMG’s Innovative Midwifery and Women’s Health Program discuss their journey into midwifery, the role of midwives in hospital-based care, and the benefits of continuous, patient-centered support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. They address common myths, explain how midwifery differs from labor and delivery nursing and doulas, and highlight collaborative care with physicians, lower C-section rates, group prenatal BIRTHcare classes, and postpartum health support. The conversation emphasizes advocacy, education, shared decision-making, and the lasting relationships midwives build with families over multiple pregnancies.
