Midwives Honor the Sensuality of Pregnancy and Birth
Article by Shafia M. Monroe: "People have often said to me, "You
must really love babies to be a midwife.' And 'Wow, how you can
stand all that blood?' Of course midwives love babies. We work hard
to provide care to ensure that a woman has a healthy pregnancy and
thus a vigorous baby. But in actuality, midwives love women. We
love to see them happy during their pregnancy, supported during
their labor, honored in birth, sustained while breastfeeding and
nurtured as new mothers." This is an article excerpt from Midwifery
Today magazine, Autumn 2008.

travelling to give birth in a hotel with a midwife?
does anyone have any experience traveling to another town to give
birth in a hotel room with a midwife? this is our plan so far. our
midwife is in a town 1.5 hours away, and i absolutely do not want
to give birth in a hospital if at all possible. my midwife is
completely on board and we'll still be doing a hospital tour in the
town we will be giving birth in just in case we do need to
transfer. it's a small town so the hospital will be very close no
matter which hotel we choose. i'm hoping to just drive there as
soon as i start early labor and get comfortable in our room, so i'm
not concerned about getting there in time. i guess what i'm looking
for is other people's experiences and tips etc. thanks in advance!
