CPM 101
In partnership with their clients CPMs carefully monitor the progress of the pregnancy, labor, birth, newborn, and postpartum period. They recommend appropriate management if complications arise, collaborating with other healthcare providers when necessary. The key elements of this education, monitoring, and decision making process are derived from an evidence-based system which trains thoughtful integration of the best available evidence, clinical expertise, and the client’s values/needs.
This article gives an overview of the Traditional Childbearing Group. Co-founded by Shafia Monroe in the 70’s and based in the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood of Massachusetts, the TCBG is a guiding star to Holistic Birth Collective and many contemporary midwifery approaches today.
This article covers a recent research survey of over 1,000 participants. Results found better experiential outcomes for those cared for by midwives than those cared for by physicians. Furthermore, for those receiving midwifery care, the quality of experiential outcomes was significantly higher in community settings than in hospital settings.
This study of 2,900 families involved in home visiting programs reveals the ineffectiveness of HFA and NFP. Among other dissatisfying results the study shows these home visiting programs did not have larger effects on prenatal behaviors, birth outcomes, or health care use after birth.
