Résumé : |
In the United States, more expectant mothers are utilizing the expertise and care of midwives than ever before — more than 330,000 births were attended by Nurse-Midwives in 2014. While this is almost three times the U.S. rate in 1989, it remains far lower than many European and Scandinavian countries where midwives lead care in about half of all births. “Some people think of midwives in old-fashioned terms, but that’s not true,” said Georgetown University School of Nursing & Health Studies faculty Cindy Farley, PhD, CNM, FACNM. “We are prescribers. We can work with women who have epidurals, and we’re active in expanding options for women.” |
