Midwifery in Utne Reader

Utne Reader has multiple articles on birth and midwifery in the new March/April issue of their magazine.

In "Drugs, Knives, and Midwives", Elizabeth Larson details how the US maternity care system is in crisis and the grassroots movement of midwifery hopes to save mothers and babies.

Then, in "Midwifery's Renaissance", Marsden Wagner discusses the resurgence of midwifery in America, from an excerpt from his new book, Born in the USA: How a Broken Maternity Care System Must Be Fixed to Put Women and Children First.

You can click on the links above to read those two articles for free online. Then head to the newstands to buy the magazine to also read "A Tale of Two Births" and "The Best Birth for You: A How-To Guide". Thank you UTNE for sharing with your readers about how important and safe midwifery care is to mothers, babies, and humanity!

Hurray for Utne Reader! Hopefully some of the more mainstream magazines will also do some pieces on birth.
