The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Institute for Community Health Innovation and Ujima Maternity Network recently celebrated the graduation of the first cohort of their comprehensive, joint doula certification program, recognizing more than 40 doulas who have received certification through the program.

Doulas are trained birth coaches who provide continuous emotional support before, during and after childbirth, aid informed decision-making during labor and delivery, assist with breastfeeding initiation and support, promote positive maternal mental health, and advocate for culturally sensitive care within health care systems. The use of doulas has been strongly advocated by the institute and other partners to improve maternal mortality rates across the state, and last year, the Arkansas General Assembly passed a law allowing doula services to be covered by Medicaid.

The UAMS milk bank had a catastrophic freeze failure over the weekend and lost all their milk. They supply milk to NICU’s for Arkansas Children’s, UAMS, and other hospitals. They also help mothers in the community.

If you can donate milk, or know anyone who can, please reach out to them. This is the only Breastmilk Bank in the state and these hospitals depend on it! Please Help!!!

Continuing on with celebrating our midwives, check out this incredible photo of Shannon delivering a baby en caul with dad assisting. En caul means the amniotic sac was intact at the time of delivery. It’s a pretty rate occurrence and such a miracle to see. Shannon has been a Midwife for 4 years. Shannon, why did you choose midwifery?
-I chose midwifery because I wanted to be with women through every step of their care. I enjoy forming relationships with them and their families as they seek care through all life stages, including well woman care, pregnancy and birth, and everything in between. I’m also a little crunchy and integrating holistic care with modern medical care is my jam :)

A doula is a trained professional who works with the OB team to provide emotional and physical support during childbirth and the postpartum period. UAMS OBs and CNMs are glad to work with doulas. And more insurances are getting on board to help cover these costs. To learn more about doulas and how they might support your pregnancy and postpartum, check out this meet and greet with the Central AR Doulas.

Happy Midwife Week. Today we are featuring Laurel: Midwife for 5 years
What does it take to become a Certified Nurse Midwife?
To become a CNM you start in nursing school and get a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) prior to applying to Midwifery school. Many schools require a minimum of 2000 hours of nursing experience. Midwifery school is a masters program and takes 2-3 years of full time course work and clinical hours to complete. We graduate with Masters of Science in Nursing, but in order to become board certified in Midwifery we then sit for our certification exam that is given by the American Midwifery Certification Board and only then can we hold the title Certified Nurse Midwife. 📷: Oaks Photography.
