Top 5 Benefits of Choosing a Certified Nurse Midwife for Your Pregnancy Care
A Personalized Approach to Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy is a significant journey filled with anticipation, hope, and important decisions. At Obstetricians & Gynecologists, PC, our Certified Nurse Midwives, Julie Runcie and Brandy Rogers, offer a unique, patient-centered approach that brings together advanced clinical skill and warm, supportive care.
Whether you’re planning your first baby or expanding your family, choosing a midwife means having an advocate who listens, educates, and stands with you through each step
1. Personalized Attention and Emotional Support
One of the most meaningful benefits of midwife-led care is the time and attention you receive. Julie and Brandy take the time to listen, answer your questions, and truly get to know you—not just as a patient, but as a person.
Their visits are designed to make you feel comfortable, informed, and supported. There’s space to discuss your hopes, concerns, and preferences — and to build a trusting relationship that continues into labor, delivery, and postpartum.
2. Support for Natural Birth and Empowered Decision-Making
Midwives like Julie and Brandy are champions of empowered birth experiences. Whether you envision a natural labor, want guidance about pain-management options, or have specific preferences for your birth plan, they provide both the education and emotional support to help you make informed choices.
With their experience in unmedicated and medicated births, and strong collaboration with our OB-GYN physician team, you’ll get personalized, safe, evidence-based care that aligns with your goals.
3. Fewer Unnecessary Interventions
Research shows that women under midwife-led care often experience lower rates of unnecessary interventions — such as inductions or cesarean deliveries — when appropriate. This isn’t about avoiding medical care when needed; it’s about supporting your body’s natural process safely and with respect.
If complications arise, Julie and Brandy coordinate with our OB-GYN physicians to ensure you receive optimal care — a true partnership model.
4. Continuity of Care from Pregnancy to Postpartum
The relationship you build with your midwife doesn’t end when your baby is born. Julie and Brandy continue to walk with you into the postpartum period, offering support for recovery, emotional well-being, breastfeeding, and adjusting to motherhood.
This continuity of care fosters a smoother transition, making many women feel more secure and supported during an important life change.
5. Collaborative, Holistic Care for the Whole Family
At OBGYN, our philosophy embraces teamwork. Julie and Brandy work closely with our OBGYN physicians and women’s health specialists to deliver comprehensive care that unites the holistic philosophy of midwifery with the medical expertise of obstetrics.
This integrated approach gives you access to the full range of care — from prenatal and labor support to postpartum and beyond — while experiencing the compassionate, individualized touch that midwifery is known for.
