The word "midwife" means "with woman."

A certified nurse-midwife (CNM) is trained as a nurse and as a midwife. Most CNMs have master's degrees, and all are certified by examination through The American College of Nurse Midwives.

Many people think that midwives only help women have babies, but midwives also provide well-woman gynecological care and family planning to women during all stages of life, from puberty through menopause.
