This is beautifully expressed.

Once I transported a woman from home to hospital. Soon after our arrival, written on the Labor and Delivery unit's board next to my client's name (for all to see), was the notation, "Failed home birth." I took the Charge R.N. aside and explained to her the many ways that phrase was inappropriate. Here's to continued greater understanding between community midwives, families, and hospital staff.

WE NEED MORE MIDWIVES TO SERVE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES!!

Hi Everyone! Here's our BIG, END-OF-THE-YEAR fundraising push for Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery's Scholarship fund!

Did you know that Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native women are two to three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women? Did you also know that the evidence shows that more community Midwives mean better outcomes and lower maternal and infant mortality for these same populations?! PLEASE help us in our efforts to bring educational opportunities to aspiring midwives of color!!! Click the link to read more!

Thank you so much for liking, sharing, and of course donating!!!

Very important study!

Maternal and Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality Among Pregnant Women With and Without COVID-19 Infection This cohort study assesses the association between COVID-19 and maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19 diagnosis compared with concomitantly enrolled pregnant women without COVID-19 diagnosis.

Respect!!!

Mariah Bowerstock Mendenhall was a midwife from 1840 to 1900. Some time during the mid-1890s she figured she had assisted with 980 births. In her records she notes that she never had a woman die while in her care. She and her family lived on a farm in Penn Township where they raised sheep and flax.

Nizhoni is looking for one or two placentas for students to learn the art and science of examining a placenta. Any folks (midwives or others) have an extra placenta in the freezer you can donate? TIA!

*** I know this may seem like a strange request, but hey, we're a midwifery school!

Midwives know how to minimize trauma to the tissues during birth, but in case of tearing, every midwife needs to know how to repair damaged tissues and maximize healing and minimize pain in the postpartum period. Here is expert midwife Shari Stone-Ulrich teaching students valuable techniques to aid postpartum healing 🙌
