Valley Midwives

Here is your opportunity to let those individuals who have misused their power by halting home births know how you feel.

Now this is clear, to the point, and simply makes sense.

This is very unfortunate!

Please keep breastfeeding your babies!

BOOK REVIEW: Milli Hill has perfectly articulated how mainstream birth culture and maternity systems disempower women and why. She also provides practical sugge...stions for taking control of your body, baby and choices. This is the book I wish I’d read when I prepared for my first birth and this is the book I wish all women could read before their first birth. We need a feminist revolution in the birth world and this book provides a significant contribution. #millihill #givebirthlikeafeminist #bookreview #childbirth #feminist #itstime #enough

This is the general picture across the maritime s. Midwifery services could provide care to hundreds of women and free up the obstetricians so they can focus on the higher risk population.

Beautifully true!

Freedom of choice for pregnant women! Why is it ever questioned.

Here is the perfect opportunity for women in Nova Scotia to have their say regarding access (or lack there of) to midwifery in their area.

Just lovely! Thanks to the mom and dad for sharing. https://www.instagram.com/p/BmY-VbGh2e1/

Good article for those considering their options. Also very reassuring.

Check out this double footling breech. Awesome. https://youtu.be/NXjwAlvRmcI

It takes courage and integrity to voice what you believe. I think this midwife shares an important viewpoint.

"The risks of needing unnecessary intervention are increased in a highly-medical setting, and that the majority of women do best at home or in a home-from-home environment, where stress levels stay down and the natural process of birth functions best."

Long article but very helpful when considering the options when faced with post term pregnancy.
