Midwives’ Roles
I remember when I first started midwifery in 1976—after my second child and first homebirth—I realized that being a midwife included so much more than prenatal care, birth, and postpartum care.

Our roles are many, diverse, and unique, depending on the mom we are working with. Read more…. Midwives’ Roles

Future-Thinking Midwifery Education: Birthing the Midwives We Need
The most exciting thing to me about the future of midwifery is the non-traditional nature of midwifery education in America and the potential it has to become a model for the world. Student midwives can train by apprenticeship at the same time they also earn college degrees in midwifery, without ever leaving their home community. This is a game-changer. Read more….
