New CNM Delivering at Huntsville Hospital

Tiffany Golub, CNM, CRNP is now
delivering babies in Huntsville.

Tennessee Valley mothers have a new birth option available to them: Midwife-assisted birth in a hospital setting. Now that CPM's (Certified Professional Midwives) are legal and licensed in Alabama, many mothers who have wished for a midwife birth can have one at home. However, not all mothers who want a midwife are necessarily comfortable giving birth at home. That's where Tiffany Golub, CNM, CRNP can help!

Tiffany is part of the professional staff at Women 4 Women OBGYN. Dr. Anne Marie Reidy had the vision to create a  practice that would give expectant mothers a variety of options in their birth experience. She hired Dr. Allison Warren who has a similar perspective, and then they brought in Tiffany Golub to serve their patients who prefer a midwifery
model of childbirth.

Tiffany is excited to be able to attend births at Huntsville Hospital and has already delivered a number of babies in her short time here. As a nurse midwife she is able to work with a mother during her labor in a more interactive, personal manner than a traditional obstetrician. She encourages mothers to move during labor, take advantage of the shower or tub in the delivery room, and deliver in a position that is comfortable. Many of her patients will have a doula attending the birth as well, and Tiffany works well with doulas.

Tiffany is a Huntsville native. She received her BS in nursing from the University of Alabama and her Master of Science from Georgetown University. She was a labor and delivery nurse at Huntsville Hospital for 11 years. It was there that she became passionate about helping mothers by educating them and ultimately being an integral part of the delivery process. Nevertheless, there are certain limitations to the births that she is able to attend. If a mother has certain risk factors she will refer her to one of the doctors with whom she works. She also provides gynecological care as part of her commitment to women throughout their lives. She is currently accepting both obstetrical and gynecological patients.
