Happy Labor Day!
Midwives have long associated the "Worker's Day Off" to their own political and physical struggle to help bring babies to their mother's arms. I like that we use the word 'labor' to describe the woman's work of giving birth. This day is another chance to honor the women, mothers and grandmothers that have labored along with us to give life to new generation. This is our labor of love.
Please thank someone who is brave enough and caring enough to do this work, just like the factory workers that risked being fired or arrested when they took to the streets to demand better working conditions, reasonable hours and decent pay. These very basic provisions for wage earners are ever in dispute as we tack on benefits, healthcare and family leave in our increasingly complex society.
Getting it right with care for our mothers and babies in our state, in our country and in our world will be accomplished by the addition of midwives and their full scope integration into the health care system. The number of women using a midwife for maternity services is at an all time high in our country but we still have work to do. The International Confederation of Midwives Mission statement reads
"To strengthen Midwives Associations and to advance the profession of midwifery globally by promoting autonomous midwives as the most appropriate caregivers for childbearing women and in keeping birth normal, in order to enhance the reproductive health of women, their newborns and their families."
So as we labor on...

Letter to the midwife from her mother twins, as a prelude to the first congress of Serbian midvife!
Little Giant - Association of parents of premature infants Serbia
Dear My grandmother, my sister,
At the very beginning I have to explain something. That's what I'm telling you ,, ,, not disrespect. Not even when he was with the doctors must be on ,, you ,, and you can also ,, you ,,. This mine ,, you ,, has another root.
You see, when we met, I was terribly frightened. Not because it hurt, it was not so bad. I was afraid because I'm here with you too early. I was afraid for my baby. Maybe it did not seem so from the outside, but inside I was ripped off the fear and helplessness. And you to seems to know! I brought you out just like a sister! I do not have a sister, but just so I imagine. If I had, and that she was there, it would not sound so look. On my scared, returned to this view, what was yours. Tim told me view: ,, Do not be afraid! We know what we're doing! It'll be good! ,, Thank you for that view! Thanks to him, I was just one, I was not the number, but I, a woman who is giving birth, a woman who is the most important thing in their lives, and in this she was not alone. She has a sister. That's why I tell you ,, you ,,!
I did not forget the look on his face when you showed me only my own children! It took a very short time, they were tiny, weak ... And you kept them with such pleasure, so important as to keep some heroes! Your voice was so festive! I do not know if you know this, but that is instilled superhuman strength. Told me that I missed, I am not mistaken, that's not my fault, that I should not be sad. You showed me that my children are there, they are alive, that I am a mother, a real mother even though I came early. Told me that they should be looking forward to share that smile with you, to be proud of. You're holding them proudly! I will not forget it!
And I remember your hand on his when I woke up from the anesthesia. Thank you for giving me explain what happened and where my children. Thank you for telling me that they are much more beautiful! The seconds as I saw them was not sufficient to every detail spasm. To tell you the truth, I did not remember. You reminded me that one has a beautiful thick hair and a pug nose, and the other as a sculpted face. And that your hand on my, that touch soft and sturdy ... It was like a pact, an agreement, a decision that you should listen and believe. To believe that they will actually still be all right! I remember that!
Thank you for having brought me another piece of my soul to hug me! He, the father of my children, scared and confused as I am, together with me, crying mixed happy and desperate tears. And you, patient, waiting. No cupkaš and not counting the time, you're letting this your first parental hug squeezed to the end. And you decor. You are a participant in this picture, as a protection, a safe cloak. Do not think I did not see how his heart leapt when you told him ,, Congratulations, Dad! You have two wonderful boys! ,, No medicine knows no better therapy for his crushed and frightened heart!
We used to hang out for a long time, we talked a lot. I could hardly wait for it to pass and go see their children, in another hospital in another city. And you knew it. I understand. Great you choose the words and tone. And what to speak and how to speak. You knew what interests me and to whom we interview not. Clearly you were to me it does not matter hospital routine, not procedures, not the wound that you do not temperature ... Everything you did it, I see, has performed as expected, and even now I do not know what all. It is clear to me that all this was just the way it has, but I have not been much of an interlocutor. Thank you all do and nothing I have not burdened. What was important, it told me. As much as you could and everything you know.
Thank you taught me how to keep their babies milk. Nothing looked like in the books and movies. No babies, no feeding, everything is somehow empty and meaningless. I did not know what to do with it her breast, nor did I know that it is that milk should do. You explain to me how these drops are important, you taught me how to keep them, it made me realize that this is the thread that connects me with them. Passion We had both with the team of my own fear petrified milk. You're tired, you leave me to quit, you've kept me that the thread to be for her alone for many days hold. For weeks and months after, my children are treated, guarded, fed, bathed some other sisters. As I'm not their mother, as if we were not all in the world, I saw it from the side, grateful for all but shattered soul. And the only thing I had as encouragement, as proof that mine and that I was that their milk. Thank you for that!
I then came not to tell you how hard it was to hear other people crying baby. Maybe it sounds strange, but I did not want to listen to and watch other people's babies. You might think I'm insensitive and selfish, but bothered me to hear even as a loud laugh. Nothing more beautiful than a healthy baby's crying and my mom's healthy laughter, some will think. But this beauty has hurt me at the time. My heart went out when, as I go down the hall, I see in an embrace. My soul is suffering from longing for my babies, for that hug. Fortunately, you did not put me in this room full of other people's happiness, so my soul somehow survived.
Thank you and you have me escorted out of the hospital some empty corridor, some empty elevator. I do not know if I bear to watch someone else's happiness and smiles, someone else's pink and blue crates full of life. Because of your hospital I went to an empty womb, empty, empty soul. Thanks for not letting me someone else's joy filled that gap even greater bitterness. Instead, like a real sister, on our parting for ever, with a firm handshake, you said: ,, Be strong! It will be good! ,, And so she enrolled in my memory for ever!
Show this letter to doctors - some are proud of you shared with you and your days, halls, corridors and rooms. Show him all the sisters who will become colleagues - let them know how to be a good grandmother and someone to be a real sister! To know that when someone comes too early, when the bore little giant, giant suffers but also remembers a giant!
You do not remember me, I do not know the name, but thank you forever, my grandmother, my sister!

On the Serbian language for the midwife said Granny.
Today we advocated for families to have accessibility to midwifery care at the state capital - we are one step closer. Advocacy Matters, is fighting for consumer rights to midwifery care.
We are a grassroots organization seeking to increase access to midwives in hospitals, freestanding birth centers and at home through education and advocacy.
www.wheresmymidwife.wordpress.com In August of 2009 a local OB/GYN clinic dissolved its midwifery program leaving many mothers without their chosen care providers. Mommies in the community got together to prove there is a demand for midwives in Wilmington and 'Where's My Midwife?' was born. We believe women deserve the option of a midwife for their maternal care and we are fighting to increase access to midwives in our community.

The story of a courageous midwife and .
Born In Auschwitz: How One Woman Delivered 3,000 Babies During The Holocaust
When Stanislawa Leszczyńska first became a midwife, she never could have imagined that she would one day be whisked away from her home in Poland, where she routinely walked miles to deliver babies, and into the real-life nightmare of Auschwitz. After the murder of her husband in Poland and the forced removal of her son to another work camp, Stanislawa and her daughter entered Auschwitz with only one hope: that they would survive.
Soon after she arrived, however, Stanislawa began to realize that her particular set of skills as a midwife might be her saving grace. The women’s barracks at Auschwitz weren’t set up even for basic medical care — let alone caring for pregnant women and their babies. Stanislawa was pragmatic and resourceful, assuring that the beds closest to the barrack’s stove, which were apt to be the warmest, were reserved for the “maternity ward.”
Many women were brought into Auschwitz pregnant, some perhaps hadn’t even realized it, and for Stanislawa assuring the health of the mother and her baby often meant making sacrifices. She also was forced to instruct the women to make sacrifices of their own: a few weeks before the woman would deliver, the midwife would tell them to forgo their bread ration in order to barter for sheets, which would be used for diapers and swaddling for the baby. If sheets weren’t obtained in time, the babies were often wrapped in dirty paper.
Despite the horrors surrounding her, Stanislawa’s only concern when a woman went into labor was making her feel safe and comfortable — just as she had in Poland aiding laboring women in their homes. Women who were in the barracks with Stanislawa remembered her staying up through the night with woman after woman — hardly ever resting. She was a calm, composed and steady presence for all women there, and pretty soon everyone was calling her Mother.
In addition to her exhaustion and malnourishment, the barracks at Auschwitz had nothing by way of antiseptics, dressings or tools. This meant that Stanislawa had nothing to give women for the pain of childbirth, and all her practices were carefully monitored by Nazi physicians. There were many other Auschwitz medical professionals besides Stanislawa, and they cared for the sick and injured under Nazi guidance. These doctors were instructed to give progress updates on patients, and when a person was not apt to recover, they were immediately taken to the gas chamber.
Many who were in Auschwitz contracted Typhus, and though there was a fairly good chance they wouldn’t recover, the doctors often lied to the Nazis in order to buy them enough time to heal. If they succumbed to Typhus, at least they hadn’t been sent to the incinerator. Likewise, Stanislawa was immediately told to drown all the surviving infants she delivered.
The Nazis assumed that the babies would never survive to term–let alone labor and delivery, but when they acquired Stanislawa’s progress reports they realized that she had not lost a single baby — or mother — since she had begun practicing midwifery in the camp. They were immediately incredulous, and instructed her to drown the newborns in a barrel in the barracks. She refused, and risked her life by doing so. Instead, the task was given to an imprisoned German midwife who had been convicted of infanticide.
As Stanislawa continued to successfully bring thousands of babies into the world despite the camp’s treacherous conditions, the Nazis began to take any children born with Aryan features, sending them to orphanages to be adopted by German families. The mothers were devastated, and together with Stanislawa they found a way to surreptitiously tattoo the tiny babies in a subtle manner, with the hope that one day mother and child would be reunited.
Though she was able to help over 3,000 babies enter the world while imprisoned at Auschwitz, Stanislawa rarely spoke publicly of her time there. One story that she did regale to her children — who have subsequently told it on her behalf— involved a young mother whom she had assisted during labor. Within a few hours, the young mother’s number was called to go to the chamber. The woman bundled her up and wrapped the baby in damp paper fluttering around the barracks. Knowing that she was about to die, the woman clutched her newborn to breast and walked out of the barracks.
Obviously, the women at the camp understood Stanislawa’s incredible presence–as did those responsible for placing her there in the first place. Dr. Menegle visited the “maternity ward” in the women’s barracks and was furious that the midwife was allowing the babies to survive. She orchestrated wet-nurses within the barracks who would suckle the babies whose mothers were so malnourished their milk never came in, and thus, babies who were born close to the camp’s liberation survived.
Even though Menegle was clearly opposed to Stanislawa’s saving of Jewish infants and their mothers, he did remark to the other Nazi physicians that not only was she an exceptionally skilled midwife, but that she was the personification of hope prisoners clung to that they may, eventually, escape the camp.
Released when the camp was liberated, Stanislawa was reunited with her children, both of whom went on to become doctors. Until her retirement in the 1950s, Stanislawa never really spoke of her time in Auschwitz. What she did share, and what others who had been in the camp with her shared, went on to be documented as justification for her beatification by the Catholic Church as a saint, a process that began in 2010.
Stanislawa died in 1974, but her story is perhaps the most miraculous account from the Holocaust’s history. As she spoke about her time at Auschwitz upon her retirement, she concluded her story by saying that even though many of the 3,000 babies born in the camp perished at the hands of the Nazis, either directly through murder or indirectly through malnourishment, she was proud to say that every single one of them had been born alive and into her waiting, loving hands.
