So when it comes time to deliver, you’re the one who knows what style of childbirth is right for you.

While midwives in America have recently experienced a resurgence in popularity, Yale has always been ahead of the trend. The practice founded its Certified Nurse Midwife program in 1956, making it one of the oldest in the nation. Midwife-attended home births were the norm up until World War II. While the hospital often meant more positive outcomes, it also resulted in more medical interventions, and childbirth was treated more as an emergency than a natural occurrence.
The Yale Midwives sought to change this by offering a natural alternative while collaborating closely with physicians. All the midwives have a master’s in nursing with a certificate of specialization in midwifery. The Yale Midwives work most often with expecting mothers. Still, they offer a wide range of treatments outside of pregnancy and delivery.
Services
The Yale Midwives are qualified to offer a huge scope of prenatal care. From the beginning of your pregnancy, you’ll be matched with a midwife offering personalized treatment. They can perform lab work and ultrasounds on top of checking your baby’s growth. Because the department works closely with the Yale obstetrics and gynecology specialists, they can provide a unique approach to your care.
The team delivers out of the Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital. You can use natural options such as water to get you through labor. Your midwife can work with you to have an unmedicated birth, but you’ll have options nearby just in case you need them.
Specialty
On top of prenatal care, Yale Midwives provides a natural approach to your gynecological care. They can assist you with family planning, perform annual exams, and advise you on menstrual issues. The midwives can also assist with newborn care for the first 28 days of your baby’s life, as well as STD testing for men.
