The UCLA Nurse Midwives continue to provide prenatal care in person and via telehealth visits during this COVID-19 pandemic. The health of you and your baby is our top priority, and we are here to care for you during your birth and postpartum recovery. Here are several important resources for you:
UCLA nurse-midwives offer prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care, as well as breast-feeding consultation. Nurse-midwives focus on meeting patients' needs for physical care, emotional and social support, and health education throughout pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. Women can expect the same level of safety with nurse-midwives as they do with physicians. 310-794-4434 Information | 310-899-7500 Appointments
