Source: International Confederation of Midwives Think of a midwife and in your head you conjure up images of a motherly figure encouraging a woman in labour to push and push her baby into the world.   News is that these professionals are not only involved in the birthing process, their areas of specialization includes pregnancy, child birth (during labour and delivery) postpartum (after labour and delivery), sexual and reproductive health. They can team up with the doctor or work in isolation either in a hospital setting or at home. This year the theme is: Midwives leading the way with quality care.

God bless and reward you. #HappyInternationalMidwivesDay #MidwivesLeadingTheWayWithQualityCare #WeLoveOurMidwives
