CU Nursing’s Ana Williams, MSN, CNM, IBCLC, is giving her insights on the important role of midwives when preparing a mother for a water birth. She is a Senior Instructor of Clinical Practice and Clinical Lead at the
Center for Midwifery at Longmont. Williams helped a Colorado woman prepare for a water birth at UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital, where they are resuming water births for the first time since 2019.
“We really trust the body and the baby. If people need interventions, we can intervene. Otherwise, we give a lot of space for the birth to evolve naturally,” Williams says.
