Carefully building the prenatal bag—
first the stethoscope, gifted by family and friends.
Then the doppler.
The blood pressure cuff.

Pack the bag.
Step through the door.
Your first day of clinical apprenticeship.

Tomorrow, you begin again.

There is a rhythm to this work—
one that’s not learned all at once,
but over time.

Leopold’s maneuvers.
Fundal height.
Heart tones.
Hands learning to feel what cannot always be seen.

At first, it’s deliberate.
You think through every step.

And then, slowly—
it settles into you.

The repetition.
The movement from one home to the next.
The quiet return to the same skills, again and again.

Until one day,
your hands know.

This is how midwives are made.

Not in a single moment—
but in all the small ones that come before.

At 
you don’t just learn the work.

You live it.

As Black History Month comes to a close, we honor the Grand Midwives whose hands delivered generations and whose clinical wisdom shaped American perinatal care — often without recognition, and in the face of systemic exclusion.

Their legacy lives on in today’s Black midwives who continue to advocate for and provide safety, dignity, and equitable, anti-racist care within their communities.

We believe that growing the next generation of midwives means investing in students who are rooted in the communities they serve.

We are committed to supporting Black student midwives, sharing scholarship resources designed to increase access to midwifery education, and amplifying efforts such as the which works to reduce financial barriers for aspiring midwives.

The legacy continues and so does the work.

✨ The secret that no one told student midwives: you don’t have to do it alone and you don’t have to do it all at once.

Balancing school, family, work, and self-care isn’t about being a superhuman—it’s about support, flexibility, and realistic expectations.

At NMI, we believe sustainable learning creates sustainable midwives.

Whether you’re already here—or just beginning to explore your options, know that we are here to support you.
