The farm midwifery clinic

The Farm Midwifery Center has served mothers, babies, and their families for over 50 years with a practice based on the belief that pregnancy and childbirth are natural life events. Prenatal care, support during labor and delivery, and postpartum supervision are provided by a group of seven midwives credentialed as Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) by the North American Registry of Midwives, and also certified by the state of Tennessee. Central to their work is the Midwives Model of Care© in which the midwife:

  • Monitors the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle.

  • Provides the mother with individual education, counseling, prenatal care, hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum care.

  • Minimizes technical interventions.

  • Identifies and refers women who require obstetrical attention.

The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
