Elder Midwife History Gathering Project

10/08/2025

Elder Midwives: I would love to include your birth stories, poetry, artwork, recipes, tricks of the trade in the Elder Midwives' Legacy project. I am ESPECIALLY interested in birth stories that illustrate the VAST range of 'normal' that physiologically undisturbed birth encompasses! Let's talk! 719 354 0326 (Text is best!) Thank you so much. Let's get our voices out there!

FOR MY PAYING SUBSCRIBERS! Don't miss the juiciness!

Once upon a time—long before steel beds and beeping monitors—birth belonged to women. We gathered in kitchens, in fields, in warm corners of humble homes.

As a midwife- what inspires you? I'm looking for lovely stories or anecdotes to include in the book that will make other midwives' heart sing! GO! xoxo

Sisters all- Long time since my last Substack posting! I've been immersed in the world of tech! O.M.Gosh! A true vertical learning curve for this kinesthetic writer of snail mailed thank you notes old school Chica! So, you might notice a bit more 'professional' look and format to the Substacks. And I'm on a schedule now- an almost undoable feat, when your 96-year-old father needs around the clock care.
Many 3 a.m. awakenings to get this done. And no- I'm not complaining! I'm truly delighted. (Okay- so I'm taking naps again now!! Grin!) THIS is my work. It always has been. Life got in the way for a time. You know.......
So, let me know what you think! Please help spread the word about this work. Blessings to you as we soon round the sun into Autumn! My huge gratitude for your support and care! Means everything to me!
