Midwifery

Would you like support and guidance for a natural birth? What position do you want for your birth? Would you like to use a birthing ball or other equipment to assist you during labor? Do you want extra help with breastfeeding?

We offer the option of safe, personalized care and support for pregnancy, labor, and birth from Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM’s). Our midwives are experts in guiding women through the process of low-risk pregnancy, labor, and birth. You will be an active participant in your care and in your birth with a multitude of options available. Our labor and delivery team is dedicated to honoring your choices.

Midwifery is a service that provides comprehensive midwifery services to our patients. We provide 24/7/365 on-call services at Duke Regional Hospital and we are the only midwifery service in Chapel Hill to work with private practice physicians.

You’ll receive expert care and full support from your midwives, with quick access to physician assistance if needed. Enjoy the intimate atmosphere you want, without the worry of extra observers.
