When you look at the etymology of the word midwife it literally means “with woman.”
In this episode, we're joined by Whitney Suckstorf, MSN, ARNP, CNM to learn that midwives go far beyond just maternity care. They are with women through all stages in their lives: whether it’s helping a young adolescent with period problems, a woman’s yearly pap smear, postpartum or through the transition of menopause.
"The unique role of a midwife is to be a chameleon for our patients," says Whitney.
Whether you are going through puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause or menopause, a woman’s health has complex needs that a midwife can help navigate and manage.
