Contraception Counseling

Natural Family Planning

Midwifery care and natural family planning are two approaches that prioritize reproductive health and well-being while promoting a holistic and personalized approach to contraception.  Midwives offer individualized care, emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making and empowering people to actively participate in their reproductive health choices. Natural family planning involves understanding a persons menstrual cycle and fertility signs to achieve or avoid pregnancy without the use of artificial contraception. It promotes a natural and non-invasive method of family planning, encouraging communication and cooperation between partners.

Diaphragm Fitting

 Diaphragm fitting, involves the proper measurement and fitting of a diaphragm, a barrier contraceptive device that covers the cervix and prevents sperm from reaching the uterus. Midwives can offer guidance and assistance in diaphragm fitting, ensuring that you are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to use this method effectively. 

Oral Contraception

With their expertise and knowledge, midwives can assist women in choosing the most suitable oral contraceptive method based on their individual needs and medical history. They provide thorough counseling on the benefits, risks, and side effects associated with different types of oral contraception. Midwives also monitor the effectiveness and safety of oral contraceptives, ensuring that clients receive regular check-ups and evaluations to assess their overall health and well-being. Through their compassionate and patient-centered approach, midwives empower women to make informed decisions about oral contraception, taking into consideration factors such as lifestyle, family planning goals, and personal preferences. Whether it’s initiating, adjusting, or discontinuing oral contraception, midwives are trusted healthcare professionals who provide comprehensive support, guidance, and ongoing management throughout the entire process.

IUD Insertion and Removal

Midwifery care encompasses a range of reproductive health services, including the insertion and removal of intrauterine devices (IUDs). Midwives are skilled in providing safe and effective IUD placement, ensuring that women receive appropriate counseling, information, and support throughout the process. They work closely with women to assess their suitability for an IUD, considering factors such as medical history, reproductive goals, and individual preferences. Midwives possess the knowledge and expertise to accurately insert an IUD, using proper techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure optimal placement. They also provide comprehensive follow-up care, monitoring the IUD’s effectiveness, addressing any concerns or side effects, and conducting regular check-ups. When the time comes for IUD removal, midwives facilitate a smooth and gentle procedure, ensuring minimal discomfort for the woman.
