Remember all of that fake blood in my fridge?! Well, let’s go Day 2! 🚒🩸

My fridge is full of “fresh fake blood”, was not on my family’s bingo card this week! I’m working with local midwives and Smooth Transitions, teaching local firefighters and paramedics about childbirth! Guess which station I am running? 🩸😀

Our labor candle is lit! 🕯️❤️

We’re back in the classroom! Chelsea and Micki are teaching the Business Class at Bastyr University for the 3rd year (Senior) student midwives!! We’ll be helping them prepare for graduation and what’s next. 📚

In between births and teaching we take time to care for ourselves. Training for and then climbing the Columbia Tower in Seattle to raise $ and awareness for blood cancer is one of the ways that we decompress and stay healthy. We encourage all of you to take time and care for yourselves too so you can continue the good work. 🤍

NRP recert! We are so fortunate that our instructor comes to the birth center so we can practice these skills in our environment. We practice on the floor, on the bed, next to the tub, etc. We don’t need these skills very often, hardly ever! It’s important that we practice them within our teams so that when the time comes, we are communicative and ready!

NRP recert! The 9th edition is out. We hosted midwives and assistants at Puget Sound Birth Center for some hands on skills! We've been doing this for awhile now... (24 years) and we still learn new things!

Hands on skills opportunity March 28th and 29th in Kirkland Wa at Puget Sound Birth Center! Jessica Swan RN, LM, CPM and Micki Persons, CBA will be here to teach all things assisting! Registration link is in bio!
