I received this today from the NCT in response to my communication. Dear Midwifemuse, Firstly, I would like to thank you for your e-mail. It’s always really helpful to have feedback in this way. My name is Jay, and I am the Campaigns Project Officer here at the NCT. As such, it’s very good to be told about the situation for midwives around the country. We really do acknowledge the work that midwives do – as some of the entries in your blog, and the snapshot you provide show – often under very trying circumstances and without full compliments of staff.

I read the NCTS’s research , Location, location, location and felt moved to email them. Here it is, will they reply? Will anyone out there stop the pressure and allow maternity services to make CONSIDERED changes rather than perform ill-judged and poorly planned knee-jerk reactions? As a community midwife I know that your organisation is represented on local MLSC’s so you must appreciate the constraints which many Trusts are placing on local maternity services. In my area we do offer women ‘real choice’, homebirth, MLU or obstetric unit, but in reality it is the midwives who are allowing these choices to be offered by ... Read Full Story

Time is running out to ask your Senators to sponsor an amendment that would ensure Certified Professional Midwives are covered under Medicaid, in the Senate health care reform bill. Midwifery gives low risk pregnant and birthing women a safe option and reduces overall costs in health care as well!

Over at the Missoula Notebook, I take a look at the latest chapter in the story of one midwife’s fight to bring a birthing center back to Missoula. Just as she completed work on her new center’s first birthing room, the local hospital banned her from its premises. This matters more than you might think: While [...]

I've had the majority of my antenatal care through the local midwife-led unit. It's a very relaxed atmosphere, a great team of midwives who're all there for you and make you feel like you're the only woman in the world currently having a baby. Clearly that's not the case, but it's nice to be made to feel that comfortable. Because it's a midwife-led unit, they don't have any obstetricians or doctors to oversee labour/birth and consequently, you...
