FAQ's
Midwives take care of pregnant women and assist in their labor, birth and postpartum care. They also provide general care services like routine exams, gynecological care, treating menopausal symptoms, managing abnormal pap smears, preparing for birth, pregnancy and postpartum care.
A nurse midwife is a registered nurse who is board certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives and trained in an accredited midwifery program.

Dr. Ilona Blumberg offers additional services of reproductive education in fertility, nutrition, exercise, contraception, pregnancy health, and breastfeeding. Midwives work with you while keeping in mind your preferences, cultural values, and personal likes and offer emotional and social support during the birth process.
Certified midwives have the experience and the skill to monitor you and your baby throughout the pregnancy and manage a smooth delivery.
Certified nurse midwives deliver more than 10 in one baby every year in the US. In case of high-risk pregnancy or complications, they possess the clinical experience to take action or refer you to a doctor, as the case might be.
Some pregnancy complications include:
- Preterm delivery
- Mother having fever during childbirth
- Using forceps or vacuum during delivery
- Twins
- Preeclampsia
- HELLP
- Gestational diabetes
- Gestational hypertension
Midwives routinely consult with obstetricians, perinatologists, and other healthcare professionals, regarding the mother and the child’s health. In case of complications, they work with specialized medical professionals to ensure a safe delivery.
The concept of getting midwife support has evolved over the years. Midwives are not just for crunchy-type moms who want things to flow naturally. Also, mothers who prefer natural birth might want midwives, but that doesn’t mean it would not involve any pain management or drug-free childbirth.
Note: For a woman who has a high-risk pregnancy and/or if complications arise, we recommend selecting a hospital environment under the specialized care of obstetricians, perinatologists, and other professionals trained to address such situations.
According to the American College of Nurse-Midwives, the benefits of good midwife care are:
- Reduced risk of a cesarean
- Lower rates of labor induction and augmentation
- Decrease in use of regional anesthesia
- Lower infant mortality rates
- Decreased risk of preterm birth
- Reduced third and fourth-degree perineal tears
- Better chances of a positive start to breastfeeding
- Greater satisfaction with the quality of care
