http://midwifeyearone.blogspot.com/2015/05/lifeofamidwife-birth-happens.html
With Woman, a Midwife on the Path. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Sometimes it happens so quickly that you barely have time to catch the sweet baby, let alone make it all the way inside the birth center! May 13, 2015 at 11:01 AM. That is crazy.and your right birth happens, wherever and whenever. :-) I am about 15 days away from my due date and my new goal is to make it through the door. :-) Thanks for sharing. May 15, 2015 at 9:41 AM. And well get you through that door 😉. June 18, 2015 at 7:17 PM.

With Woman, a Midwife on the Path: Obstetric Violence (trigger warning)
http://midwifeyearone.blogspot.com/2015/08/obstetric-violence-trigger-warning.html
With Woman, a Midwife on the Path. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Obstetric Violence (trigger warning). Do I tell her? Do I tell her about 'Twilight Sleep', women being strapped down to tables, episiotomies and forceps and the assembly line that was a labor and delivery unit? I ask her; "Do you want to hear my answers? This is why we must continue. Just because things are much better now does not mean that the work is done. I share this story so that we don't forget, so that the new advocates and activi...

Midwife. Mother. Human. Detoxing from Facebook. Laquo; Rebirth…. Too many words for a status update. From where I perch…. February 25, 2010. Up here on one of the more northern points on my NEAR BLOODY VERTICAL learning curve. 8220;must work, dammit”. This week I have:. I signed up for a provider number to administer Newborn Screening tests (I only half-jokingly call them Newborn Screamings) , and birth certificate filing (which I’ll mercifully be able to do on-line!

Midwife. Mother. Human. Detoxing from Facebook. Laquo; Not about homebirth, except when it is. Update from Leafy Corner (and beyond). November 10, 2009. So yes, months and months have gone by it seems and I have been unable to drag words out of myself sufficient to deposit them here…. I have instead made much milk and grown a fat, lovely baby. He has two shiny, sharp new bottom teeth, much stronger opinions about things, and threatens to crawl. Briefly contemplated racing around snapping pictures to make...

With Woman, a Midwife on the Path: November 2014
http://midwifeyearone.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
With Woman, a Midwife on the Path. Monday, November 17, 2014. Aquarium Nets and Naked Men. The couple was beautiful; connected, strong and confident in each other. The picture they painted was blissful. They worked through the labor together, walking around the center, bouncing on the birth ball and finally while she was in the birth pool. So, this woman is in the birth pool, transition is imminent and her husband asks me to share the reasons why we have the “no naked people” rule. These stories had the ...

With Woman, a Midwife on the Path. Tuesday, August 26, 2014. This life is not for the faint of heart that is for sure! Here are some examples of issues often not talked about. My low beam headlights are out, they have been out. I have been driving at night with the high beams. When will I be able to make it to a garage to have them fixed? My oil needs to be changed, see above. I think I have friends.somewhere out there in the regular world. It has just been a while since we have seen each other. And yet,...

With Woman, a Midwife on the Path: December 2014
http://midwifeyearone.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
With Woman, a Midwife on the Path. Sunday, December 28, 2014. Once again, I am honored and humbled to be in this position serving women and their families. I am eternally grateful for my own family who make it possible for me to do what I love; particularly my amazing husband who is my rock and my own Mother who is my biggest cheerleader and the best Grandma ever! Without further delay, here we go;. 148 girls and 152 boys; 6 of these sweet ones were born en caul. I would love to discuss this question.
