Community midwives
Midwives look after women during their pregnancy and help to monitor the health of mum and baby to ensure that the pregnancy is progressing normally. They also ensure that plans are in place for the delivery and in the early weeks and months that both mum and baby are doing well. They are also there to support new or inexperienced parents.
