Profile
Sandra G. Wood, NP, CNM, Certified Nurse-Midwife
Midwifery-Centered Birth Care in Burlington
Sandra G. Wood brings the midwifery model of care to pregnant individuals and birthing families in Burlington, Vermont. This approach emphasizes patient autonomy, informed decision-making, and continuity of care from pregnancy through postpartum recovery. Unlike traditional obstetric models that focus on risk management and intervention, midwifery care prioritizes the physiologic process of birth while remaining alert to complications. The midwife serves as both educator and advocate, supporting individuals who wish to explore natural birth options within a framework of safety and medical expertise.
The Midwifery Difference
Certified Nurse-Midwives hold both nursing and midwifery credentials, combining clinical training in obstetrics with specialized preparation in low-risk pregnancy and birth management. This dual qualification allows midwives to provide comprehensive prenatal care, attend births, and manage postpartum and newborn care. Patients working with a midwife typically benefit from longer appointment times, detailed discussions about labor preferences and birth plans, and consistent relationships with their care provider. Midwifery care acknowledges that pregnancy and birth are normal life events while maintaining the ability to recognize and manage medical complications.
