A midwife is a professional in midwifery. In addition to providing care to women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period, midwives may also provide primary care related to reproductive health, including annual gynecological exams, family planning, and menopausal care. Many developing countries are investing money and training for midwives and other community health workers so that they can provide well-woman primary care services that are currently lacking.
Midwives are specialists in pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and well-woman health care. They are educated and trained to recognize the variations of normal progress of labor and deal with deviations from normal to discern and intervene in high risk situations, such as breech births, twin births and births where the baby is in a posterior position, using non-invasive techniques. When a pregnant woman requires care beyond the midwife's scope of practice, they refer women to obstetricians or perinatologists who are specialists in complications related to pregnancy and birth, including surgical and instrumental deliveries. In many parts of the world, these professions work in tandem to provide care to childbearing women. In others, only the midwife is available to provide care, and in yet other countries many women elect to utilize obstetricians primarily over midwives.

His 'father's' mistress welcomes the young boy into her literal bosom. Wanting badly to know his real father, Jan leaves the house, only coming back after Khun Luang's daughter falls pregnant out of wedlock.

BBC The Midwives Series 2 Episode 6 Midwife in the Making This episode follows student midwives as they get hands-on experience at Birmingham Women's Hospital - one of the busiest maternity units in the country. Rebecca is in the first year of her degree course in midwifery at Birmingham City University and is following in a family tradition - both her mum and her grandmother were midwives. Over the next three years she must combine classroom study with practical on-the-job training and aim to assist in forty births. We follow Rebecca during her first placement supervised by her mentor Daisy. Whilst the possibility of assisting during a birth might seem daunting, getting to grips with the basics of urine samples and putting on latex gloves appears far from easy. Fellow first year Molly ...
Series 1 Episode 1 of 6 DURATION: 1 HOUR This film follows the midwives on the Central Delivery Unit at Saint Mary's Hospital in Manchester - one of the busiest labour wards in the country.

Midwife Ann looks after Carren and Barry whose baby has not been moving. They've returned to give birth at St Mary's after losing their newborn a year ago.

BBC The Midwives Series 2 Episode 3: A Natural Choice In this episode at Birmingham Women's Hospital we meet midwife Maureen who prefers to work on the birth centre where birthing pools, aromatherapy massage oils and 'a bit of witchcraft' are all on offer to help deliver babies as nature intended. Midwife Antoinette has tried the birth centre approach but much prefers the high tech no-nonsense environment of the delivery suite. For her it's about being prepared for anything, especially when you deal with high risk pregnancies where the situation can change in an instance, that's when you need the painkilling drugs and high-tech medical equipment to be readily on-hand. Giving birth in the midwife led birth centre is almost £200 cheaper for the NHS than having a baby in the more clinica...

BBC The Midwives Series 1 Episode 3 How the Other Half Push This film explores the wildly contrasting experiences of the community midwives who look after mums on the two opposite sides of the Wirral near Liverpool. The Wirral is a peninsula, divided in half by a motorway. On the west are million-pound houses, on the east are some of the most deprived areas in the country. There is a 15-year difference in life expectancy between some areas of the east and west Wirral. In the middle is Arrowe Park Hospital. From here the community midwives venture out in their cars to look after the mums on both sides, before and after they have their babies. Often just 10 minutes' drive from each other, the mums of the Wirral can be polar opposites in wealth, age and expectations. So, for the midwives, ...
