All About Midwifery Services
Midwifery care is a long-standing practice that has been around for centuries. Midwives work with women every day navigate everything from reproductive health to pregnancy, acting as a helping hand and trusted medical professional. While they have different qualifications than an OB/GYN or other medical doctor, they have special skills that make them a great option for women’s health care.
At Mile High, our program expands upon traditional ideals of midwifery care to provide you with innovative, holistic, and evidence-based care. We make a great effort to work one-on-one with our patients to offer family planning, labor and delivery, and general women’s health care services.

What You Need to Know about Family Planning
Family planning is defined as the voluntary process of determining your goals and plans for the type of family and number of children you wish to have. To start the family planning process, you don’t have to want to expand your family or try to get pregnant immediately. If you are sexually active, it’s essential to start thinking about ways to accommodate your wishes about if and when you are ready for a child.
However, family planning doesn’t just involve looking at contraception. It can also encompass:
- Determining your fertility
- Preventing STIs
- Monitoring your sexual health
- Education about pregnancy, sex, and reproductive health
- Treating any conditions that affect infertility
For many people, family planning starts out as conception prevention. Taking the steps to ensure that you can have the family you desire, when you desire to have it, is important to help avoid any complications you could experience if you become pregnant and aren’t ready.
