Black patients and Certified Nurse-Midwife
Black Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs): prenatal, birth, well-woman care. CNM-attended births have lower C-section rates, which is meaningful for Black parents.
Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) are master's-prepared nurses with midwifery specialty training and full prescriptive authority. Black birthing people with CNM care have 23 percent lower C-section rates (J Midwifery Womens Health, 2021). That is a meaningful statistic given Black women's C-sections happen at 36 percent nationally and come with higher risk of severe morbidity. Less than 2 percent of CNMs are Black.
What CNMs cover
- Prenatal care with longer visits
- Birth in hospitals and birth centers
- Postpartum care (typically through 6 weeks)
- Well-woman care, contraception, Paps
- Newborn care in-hospital
- Menopause care (in many practices)
