• A midwife is a health professional trained to provide you with support and care during pregnancy, labour and birth.
• Midwives help you to stay healthy in pregnancy.
• If no complications arise, midwives are the main professionals who support you during a birth with little intervention.
• Midwives also care for you and your baby in the first few weeks following the birth.
• Midwives work in many settings including public hospitals, birth centres and private clinics and family hubs.
