Hands on, Hands off: Midwifing the Inner Life of Women by Sister MorningStar
Listening to a mother is the most important skill of midwifery. Asking her questions is the second most important. Third is making unrushed time together in nature with a bit of privacy so the important matters can be discussed. Everything matters to a pregnant woman—her health, her dreams, her fears, her stresses, her food, her relationships, her resources, her plans, her shelter, her sleep, her ideal birth, how her mother was born and how she was born.

Welcome to this world Althea Ann Louise 6lbs 14oz & 19 inches long. It has taken me a minute to write your birth story precious one. Momma Maria is a dear friend and on staff with Eden as an office assist. This is her second baby with Eden. This pregnancy flew by as mom worked through normal pregnancy issues but was incredibly healthy and committed to a home birth. She did everything to be successful like chiropractic care, pelvic floor health and eating so well. This birth went quickly jumping from 3cm to 6cm in 30 min and then the need to push. When little one's HR wasn't sounding to happy EMS was called as back up. Mom was amazing with position changes, IVs , Oxygen and painful cervical lips IYKYK! She pushed baby out in one push and then we saw the little tangle this busy baby had gotten her self into. 2 1/2 cord wraps and a foot wrap! Quick work by the Eden team* resolved it and the wonderful EMS got to see a lovely home birth! Thankful for collaborative care with EMS and St Mary's hospital on standby. We love this family so much and feel honored to be trusted with their care. Grow big sweet girl, you are a rare one like your momma.

Americans are overwhelmingly rejecting circumcision as rates drop below 50% for the first time in 75 years. Researchers cite "increasing public skepticism" for the rejection of the practice. The drop in rates are inline with Intaction's prior prediction. https://bit.ly/4pogCBh
