Preferred term

midwifery  

Definition

  • Midwifery is the age-old practice of assisting women throughout the processes of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period (i.e., before, during, and after the birth). Most often practiced by women, midwifery is one of the oldest professions in the world, referenced in ancient texts and even mentioned throughout the Bible.
