Midwifery care is holistic and continuous in nature, grounded in an understanding of the social, emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological and physical experiences of women. Pregnancy and childbearing are usually normal physiological processes. For centuries, midwives have provided care to women during childbirth and not only caring just during the birthing process, but also throughout their reproductive lives. Prenatal care involves a series of regular exams and evaluations with the midwife. Prenatal care helps in detecting and preventing various kinds of diseases that can be attacked to mother and then spread to baby. Postnatal care should be a continuation of the care the woman received during her pregnancy, labour and birth. Post natal care should involve planning and regularly reviewing the content and timing of care, for individual women and their babies. Nurse midwives are able to provide medical care to women from puberty through menopause, including care for their newborn (neonatology), antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and nonsurgical gynecological care. Midwifery care also includes health promotion, disease prevention, and individualized wellness education and counseling.

Midwifery practice has undergone remarkable changes over the last 75 years. In the early part of the 20th century, the only place midwives could attend births was at home. Later, the hospital became virtually the only place in which midwives could attend births, and there was a great debate among the midwifery community in the 1970s about the safety of homebirth. Nurse midwives function as primary healthcare providers for women and most often provide medical care for relatively healthy women, whose health and births are considered uncomplicated and not "high risk," as well as their neonates. Nurse midwives practice in hospitals and private practice medical clinics and may also deliver babies in birthing centres and attend at-home births. Some work with academic institutions as professors. Although the changes in midwifery practice around birth may seem dramatic, the changes in the scope of practice have been even more so.
