Midwives: More Than Birth – How They Support Women’s Health at Every Age
Beyond Birth: A Lifelong Partner in Women’s Health
When most people think of midwives, they picture pregnancy and childbirth. But at Obstetricians & Gynecologists, PC, our midwife team — Julie Runcie and Brandy Rogers — offers care far beyond those moments.
They support women through every stage of life — from adolescence to menopause and beyond — combining clinical expertise with a gentle, relationship-based approach. Whether you’re scheduling a wellness visit, exploring family planning, or navigating menopause, Julie and Brandy are here to guide you.
Adolescent and Young Adult Care
A young woman’s first encounter with a healthcare provider can shape how she engages with her health for years. Julie and Brandy offer a safe, educational, and judgment-free environment where teens and young adults can learn about their bodies, menstrual health, and reproductive choices. Services include:
- First gynecologic exams and annual checkups
- Menstrual health education and cycle tracking
- Contraceptive counseling and birth-control options
- Guidance on healthy lifestyle and self-care
By offering empathetic and clear communication, our midwives help young women build confidence and understanding.
Family Planning and Preconception Counseling
Planning for (or sometimes planning not to) start a family is a key part of women’s health. Julie and Brandy provide dedicated family-planning and preconception care — helping you make informed decisions about timing, fertility, and health optimization.
They discuss contraception, fertility awareness, and pre-pregnancy health habits to help you prepare for what’s ahead — no matter your goals.
Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum Care
Of course, midwives are also essential for pregnancy and childbirth. Julie and Brandy provide comprehensive prenatal care, labor and delivery support, and postpartum follow-up — grounded in compassion, education, and clinical strength.
After delivery, they continue to check in on your emotional and physical recovery, breastfeeding support, and overall well-being — ensuring the transition to motherhood is supported in every way.
Wellness and Gynecologic Care
Midwives also play a major role in ongoing wellness. Many women choose to see a midwife for preventive and routine gynecologic care, including:
- Annual exams and Pap smears
- Breast exams and cancer-screening coordination
- Contraceptive care and renewal
- Menstrual/hormonal health assessments
- Common gynecologic condition diagnosis/treatment
More than just a check-up, these visits are about building trust and continuity — and our midwives create comfortable spaces for meaningful conversations.
Menopause and Midlife Support
Midlife presents new transitions — physically, emotionally, and socially. Julie and Brandy help women navigate these changes with education, empathy, and practical strategies. They provide support for symptoms such as hot flashes and sleep changes, while also focusing on long-term health issues like bone density, cardiac wellness, and hormonal balance. Their goal: to help women feel grounded, empowered, and comfortable in their bodies at every stage
