Re: What little things do you do to promote midwifery care?
At one point in time I was one of the Co-Leaders for the Alaska Birth Network, though I am no longer active with it anymore... It wasn't so much a group for promoting Midwifery Care, but for promoting Mother-Friendly Care. I am thinking about getting an Citizens for Midwifery chapter started up here in Alaska. I can't afford to do the baby-fairs, Anchorage Market & Festival booths or rent an office, I do use my current pregnancy and the fact that I usually have 4 kids trailing after me where ever I go as a promotion of midwifery care. A lot of people ask me who my doctor is, what hospital I am going to birth in, epidural use, c-section, etc. and it is a HUGE conversation starter. I also use Facebook a lot to promote midwifery, attachment parenting, babywearing, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, breastfeeding, and intact baby boys.

"The Midwife works at the intersection of Time, as generation gives way to generation. In helping to make the Birth Space, She Creates a place of Sanctuary. She is a Sheperdess between the two worlds of the Spiritual and Human, and Her skills lie at the point where the emotions and the biological touch each other and interact. She tends the Tree of Life."--Sheila Kitzinger
Patience is a Virtue... For a Midwife it is Essential!
