Typical roles of a midwife include: supervising and providing care during pregnancy: as a midwife, you advise women on pregnancy dos and don'ts. You offer nutritional advice and solutions for managing emotional and physical changes like morning sickness. For instance, you recommend vitamins to help sustain pregnancy and maternal health and educate women on medications to avoid. You also suggest antenatal exercises to ensure the mother is ready for birth. providing antenatal care: as a midwife, you are responsible for antenatal care. That means performing screen tests at the hospital or mining community health centre. You also do the bloodwork and check vital signs to ensure the pressure is normal, and the patient doesn't have other health conditions. After the screening, you discuss the results with patients and recommend ways to improve pregnancy health. conducting deliveries: a midwife delivers babies at patients' homes or a healthcare facility. It is crucial to be familiar with water births and be able to identify high-risk pregnancies. While you cannot perform a caesarean, you can recommend obstetricians or other medical specialists to assist with high-risk pregnancies. Even when you don't assist in delivery, you are there to offer support and help with neonatal care. providing counselling and support: as a midwife, you support your patient throughout the pregnancy. That means you educate them on their expectations. If they have a miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal health condition, you provide support and advice. educating women on parenthood: as a midwife, you participate in community programmes that educate women about managing parenting. You also advise women on contraception and nutrition.
