called to the path that requires all of the love we have to give, then a little
more.

We
midwives can do little about societal influence unless we get ourselves into
the media and say that birth can be normal and positive. Jenny Hall
There is not a single report in the scientific
literature that shows obstetricians to be safer than midwives for low risk or
normal pregnancy and birth. So if you are among the over75 percent of all
women with a normal pregnancy, the safest birth attendant for you is not a

Quote of the Week
"Becoming a midwife is a political statement. It says that women's health
has been too long managed by people who care more for the bottom line than for
health. It says we must take back our bodies and revisit our roots. It is about
choice, safety, and the power of women."
Dear Mary
I find her wording "becoming a Midwife" more than
intersting, challenging!!
Thank you Denise
