Hello Charlottesville! This is a birth announcement for our new blog: The Midwife Monologues. Our vision is to have a forum for dialogue for all things pertaining to modern midwives and the clients they serve. Topics will include Advocacy, Research, Health, Parenting, Breastfeeding, and (oh yeah) Birth! We invite you and your midwives to join us as we raise this little tyke of a blogspot into a resource for information and community building.
Special thanks to our web-midwife, Michael Davis. A fabulous home birth dad who bartered his web design services for the birth of his son (Baby Jack was our collateral), Michael is behind our brand new site Mountain View Midwives. As Deren and I lean towards being luddite midwives, it has been a fairly sharp learning curve to be able to “blog”. In fact, it required 7 video tutorials for me to learn how to post. Now that I get it (sort of), I am amazed at the potential for knowledge and connection that this communication tool provides.
We have a special category called Charlottesville Midwifery that will be a local forum for birth stories, swapping used baby equipment, events, and general questions about midwifery and related resources in the Charlottesville area. Please let us know what resources we are missing in our Links section! Look forward to seeing you there!
Thanks Brynne. It was a pleasure doing the site. Good luck.
How much training is needed to sign on as midwife assistant? To become a mid-wife?
I agree with everything you wrote. Great stuff
