To all the Midwives!

DateMonday, May 5, 2008 at 02:11PM

Happy International Midwives Day!
 
To all the amazing midwives who work so hard so ensure that women have the choice and availability of safe gentle home or birth center births!

To the midwives who welcome babies into this world with soft hands and a warm home!

To all the midwives, midwifery students, birth educators, birth assistants, birth activists, and moms and dads who work tirelessly to promote and educate the public about the availability, importance, and value of midwifery care!

To all our ancestor midwives who carried this tradition of midwifery through many cultures, generations, and through waves of oppression from witchhunts and patriarchy to bring this honorable women's work to us today!

To all who are midwifing the future of a peaceful humanity through facilitating conscious birth!

To all the midwives - Thank you! We love you!
