Virtual Childbirth Education

We offer our patients free access to a variety of perinatal education classes taught virtually. Classes offered include Early Pregnancy Preparations, Prenatal Education Bootcamp (English and Spanish), Coping and Comfort, Breastfeeding 101, as well as Newborn Care.

All classes are live, so patients have the opportunity to learn from and interact with certified and experienced childbirth educators! Since each class type is offered multiple times a month, patients now have more flexibility in choosing a time that fits their schedule and can connect from the comfort of their own home.

Midwifery: An Alternative

A Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) is an advanced practice nurse specializing in labor and delivery and gynecological health. A midwife provides women's health services beyond the delivery room, including:

Prenatal and postpartum care
Vaginal births
Breastfeeding support
Gynecologic care
Reproductive and sexual health
Contraception and family planning
Peri- and postmenopausal care

Why Choose Midwifery?

Midwives can take a more natural approach to childbirth and are a great option for low-risk, healthy pregnancies. According to the American College of Nurse-Midwives, benefits of receiving midwifery care include:

Decreased risk of needing a cesarean
Reduced rates of labor induction and augmentation
Reduced use of regional anesthesia
Decreased infant mortality rates
Decreased risk of preterm birth
Decreased third and fourth-degree perineal tears
Lower costs for both clients and insurers
Increased chances of having a positive start to breastfeeding
Increased satisfaction with the quality of care

At JPMC, our midwife works closely alongside board-certified obstetricians if and when high-risk complications arise to ensure peace of mind for both mother and baby.
