Fantastic opportunity in beautiful Meridian with great midwves.

New Beginnings Birth Center in Meridian, Idaho has availability to take on a student in any phase of training (beginner/assist or primary). We are a group practice of CPMs and a CNM, doing ~12 births per month in both the birth center and home setting. With our CNM there are also opportunities to gain experience in Women's Health (pap smears, iron infusions, hormone testing and counseling, menopause, etc.). We require a 6 month minimum time commitment and are only taking students enrolled in MEAC accredited programs at this time.

To inquire, please send an email to rachel.d.mast@gmail.comuii

This is big! This is opening doors, (quite literally). This is what collaborating care looks like for the women and families of the Magic Valley. This is what the hard work of people who believe in safe community options look like. I am proud that TFM is keeping Midwifery Safe. I am so thankful for our St Lukes partners who truly love their community and acknowledge families legal choices in birth. I am thankful for all the other midwives, doulas and birth workers who are impacting this valley and the entire state. This is hard work, validation and I believe, a hallmark for other communities. GOOD WORK EVERYONE. Shout out to Dr Meyers and Andrea B , Emily and others, they are truly a blessing for what they contribute to everything. Thank YOU!!!

"Midwifery models of care are models of care in which the main care providers for women and newborns, starting from pre-pregnancy and continuing all the way through the postnatal period, are educated, licensed, regulated midwives who autonomously provide and coordinate respectful, high- quality care across their full scope of practice, using an approach that is aligned with the midwifery philosophy of care, which:

i. promotes a person-centred approach to care;
ii. values the woman–midwife relationship and partnership;
iii. optimizes physiological, biological, psychological, social and cultural processes; and iv. uses interventions only when indicated.
In midwifery models of care, midwives provide integrated care, addressing the needs of each individual woman and newborn, within functional and enabling health systems, equipped with necessary resources and streamlined consultation and referral processes. They collaborate within networks of care as part of interdisciplinary teams characterized by equality, trust and respect. This approach guarantees that every woman and newborn receives personalized care, tailored to their health needs.

Midwifery models of care are adaptable to all levels of care and contexts, including home-, community- and hospital-based settings; the public and private sectors and public–private partnerships; resource-constrained environments; and humanitarian and crisis settings. This ensures wide accessibility, equity and relevance across different cultural contexts for women, newborns, partners, families and communities."

We love all moms… the things you do daily is miraculous.

After becoming a MOM, I realized that to the world, we’re NOT allowed to:

• Complain - "You chose to have kids.”

• Cry - "Why are you upset? Did you think it would be easy?”

• Feel tired - "Tired from what? You’re home all day!”

• Sleep in - "You’re just being lazy!”

• Take a break - "You’ll get rest once they’re grown.”

• Get pregnant again - "Are you serious? Isn’t that enough?”

• Leave your job - "How are you going to provide for your child?”

• Work - "Who’s going to watch the baby?”

• Use daycare - "Don’t let strangers raise your kid!”

• Be a stay at home mom - "Your husband does everything while you do nothing!”

• Be single - "Nobody wants a mom with baggage.”

• Go out - "Why are you going out and leaving your child?”

And the truth is…
No matter what we do, someone ALWAYS has something to say.

Let’s normalize giving moms grace. I’m a mom. I LOVE my kids. But I’ve felt EVERY one of these things at some point.

Advocacy is not the act of begging your provider for permission.

Advocacy is knowing your rights, knowing your options, and making decisions for your body.

You're not waiting for someone else to “allow” you to access them.

If you’re trying to convince your doctor to let you use a certain birth method, decline a procedure, or choose your birth plan, you’re not being supported.

You’re being managed.

Informed consent isn’t a negotiation.

Your provider works with you, not over you.

Happy morning sunshine! Congrats and welcome to the world little one.
ALSO, Things you may see at a beautiful home birth. Two midwives supporting the best families thru amazing water births. And then a midwife fighting with a birth pool trying like a toddler having a temper tantrum to get it small enough to carry it in a little bag. EVERYTIME……. ( admitting that sometimes the pool wins…..not today birthpool, not today)
