The area of expertise in midwifery includes care about healthy woman, childbearing women during their pregnancy, labor and birth as well as mothers and their newborns 56 days postpartum. A midwife offers preventive gynecologic care, selection of the best contraception and check-up of mammary glands. You can choose between pregnancy care provided by gynecologist, midwife or your family doctor. In the “Stork’s nest” you will find midwifes who are ready to assist in home delivery or planned delivery in non-clinical setting. Midwives offer postpartum care to women who need a special professional postnatal assistance, counseling in breastfeeding or newborn care.
You can make appointment with certified midwives Dina Ceple, Astrīda Millere, Rudīte Brūvere, Iveta Bērziņa, or Aija Mikova. Midwife Dina Ceple in conjunction with the support group leader Aiva Zeidmane give workout classes for the expectant mothers. Midwifes may be with you during planned birth in non-clinical setting or home delivery; however, to consider this option you should make timely enquiries, as the preparatory period that leads up to such delivery requires additional visits, tests, and psycho-emotional readiness. Midwife Astrīda Millere provides birth assistance also in the clinic of the Latvian Family Center.
