Midwifery and Gynecology Nurse

                  Track 10: Midwifery and Gynecology Nurse


             A midwife is a professional in midwifery. Also known as obstetrics, midwifery is the health science and the health profession concerned with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, besides sexual and reproductive health of women throughout their lives. The actual duties of the midwife are mainly to assist in the birthing process. It is said that the rates of obstetrical intervention in birth are rising worldwide. Although professional midwives attend the majority of births in some of these countries, they are biomedically socialized and often overworked, and have been unable to stem the rising cesarean tide, which is largely obstetrician-driven. Though both midwives and obstetricians have worked hard to preserve normal vaginal delivery in these countries the Scandinavian and Japan are the exceptions. Here cesarean rates range from 12 to 17 per cent. Gynecology and OB nurses also are referred to as OB/GYN nurses, and square measure specially trained to produce medical care for girls throughout gestation, labour and vaginal birth, yet as give medical care for girls with health issues of or involving their system. 
             OB/GYN nursing could be a broad field, therefore nurses usually any concentrate on a particular space, like perinatal nursing or labour & delivery nursing at hospitals and biological process centres or in gynecology nursing in an exceedingly physician's workplace. OB/GYN nurses give care and support for girls from the instant they begin their playing period all the manner through climacteric. They educate girls on physical and sexual health, and discuss patients' choices for contraception, yet as preventative measures like HPV vaccinations for the interference of cervical cancer and mammograms for the first detection of carcinoma. OB/GYN nurse practitioners usually serve below the authority of a medical man as medical caregivers to girls, and may write prescriptions, order workplace tests and build diagnoses.
