Quad Cities Midwives > Certified Nurse Midwives

We Are Here For You

We are a ‘Group’ of Obstetricians and Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) dedicated to walking with you on your path to Motherhood. We specialize in pre pregnancy planning, normal and high risk pregnancies, postpartum care, and so much more!

Midwifery

At The Group, we want you to know that the safety of you and your baby always comes first. We work with the OB physicians and, should it become necessary, involve them in the birth process at any point.

Make A Birth Plan

A birth plan is an expression of your wishes for your birth including, pain relief, feeding, birth witnesses, etc. You may find it helpful to take the time to express your thoughts and desires regarding your upcoming birth ahead of time. Together, we can discuss it and share it with the hospital staff. Download and complete our Birth Preparation Form. Bring it to you next appointment with your physician at The Group.

Normal pregnancy care
Bedside labor support and delivery
Birth prep and planning visits
Family centered care
Sibling involvement with prenatal visits
Partner involvement with labor and deliveries

Your Guide to Pregnancy

As your healthcare provider, we promise to provide you with excellent care as you bring your little one into the world. To help you along, we've created Your Guide to Pregnancy. It includes information about our providers, our office, appointments, procedures and so much more! Download Your Guide to Pregnancy.

We are ready and willing to assist you with questions about your care, so please do not hesitate to contact us at 563.355.1853

You may also find it helpful to use our online Resources or FAQs. Visit these pages to find definitions and descriptions of terms, procedures, diagnoses, tests, and other information intended to answer some basic questions you may have.

The Group Difference

We believe in collaboration at The Group and during your pregnancy journey, you have the choice of rotating providers for each pre-natal appointment to get to know each one. There will always be a designated Obstetrician and CNM on-call to deliver your baby.

We specialize in pre pregnancy planning, normal and high risk pregnancies, postpartum care and so much more!

Expert Care

We are the most experienced group of obstetricians and midwives in the Quad Cities. We are proud to offer unmatched and comprehensive services for all expectant mothers.

Delivery

We have the lowest primary C-section rate (C-sections among first time mothers) in the Quad Cities. In addition, we offer VBACs (vaginal birth after C-section) with a high success rate.

Anesthesiologist

During labor and delivery there is a dedicated OB anesthesiologist dedicated to you. That means your care is top priority.

Hospital

We deliver at Genesis East, the hospital with the highest level of neonatal care (NICU) in the Quad Cities. University of Iowa NICU physicians work with us at Genesis so your baby, should the need arise, will receive the best available care.

We struggled for years to get pregnant. It wasn't until we went to the group that we learned what was going on and had a plan. A year ago, we found out we were pregnant. We had a beautiful baby boy just four months ago! From day one and through delivery and complications, everyone at The Group was by our side cheering and providing amazing care. Thank you for helping us bring our perfect and healthy baby boy into this world. We are forever grateful to this amazing office and staff.

The doctors at The Group are all very caring and professional. I like their rotation of OBs during the prenatal visits. When it came time to deliver, I knew who my doctor was, rather than being surprised with one I have never met before.

No one plans on having a premature birth or having their baby in the NICU, but it happens. The doctors at The Group saved me and my baby! The Genesis NICU was amazing for the 4 weeks we were there!

I have had a wonderful experience at The Group! I had a chance to meet all of the doctors prior to the birth of my first child. They did very well with my husband and I, explaining certain procedures and taking time to hear our concerns, and truly answer our questions.
