Hi Everyone! I want to take a moment to express my deepest thanks to all of you who have been part of Midwifery Today—whether past, present, or future. This past year has been full of changes, and while we’ve had our challenges, the support, flexibility, and understanding we’ve received have been incredible. Let’s be real for a moment: Midwifery Today, once a family-run business, was on the brink. When Jan retired and several family members left, we faced empty bank accounts, unpaid bills, and no clear plan. But thanks to some amazing people like Donna (our marketing superstar) and Teresa (our e-news volunteer), we pushed through. And let me just say, our Lancaster conference, despite all odds, was fantastic—even if we did take a financial hit. Then life threw me a few more curveballs—my father’s health issues, another family member’s cancer diagnosis, and the arrival of my beautiful grandson! It’s been a whirlwind, and we know our vision and timing have been impacted. But despite all of this, we’ve been working tirelessly, prioritizing what truly matters. Here’s where the exciting part comes in! I knew we needed to rebuild Midwifery Today from the ground up to better serve midwives and families. So, we brought in a fantastic business and website management team, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the progress we’ve made. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s happening: • We’re giving the website a much-needed overhaul and adjusting membership prices to reflect all the new resources we’re adding. • Instead of multiple issues, we’ll publish an annual collection of photos and articles. • We’re creating new courses and conversations for midwives, students, and birth workers. • Our online communities are being redesigned to foster connection and support. • Newsletters, marketing, sales, and information? All streamlined and easier to… Read more…. Midwifery Today’s Rebirth

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that can be used safely and effectively by a pregnant woman from the early weeks of gestation through the birth process and the postpartum period. The realization of a pregnancy often motivates women to make significant changes in their lives. Homeopathic remedies can assist women in making this transition. These changes may be mental, emotional or physical and all can be supported and encouraged through the use of homeopathic medicine. Some of the key issues for a woman as her pregnancy evolves are outlined below. Remedy suggestions are non-specific because like any other homeopathic case, the right remedy is different for each individual.

More than 20 years of efforts by maternal child health care workers has paid off with the news that pregnancy- and childbirth-related deaths worldwide have decreased substantially since the Safe Motherhood Initiative began more than 20 years ago. This information comes from an in-depth study led by researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle and published in The Lancet (1) earlier this year. Generous funding by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation allowed them to search out and include in their analysis data that had not been used in previous maternal mortality estimates, achieving more complete and accurate results.
