The ancient art of midwifery has survived many obstacles. Sisters helping sisters give birth is as old as stories have been told. 80 percent of all babies born today come through the hands of midwives, yet less than one percent of babies born in the United States are born at home. Here our culture fears birth and has imprinted a woman to believe she is required to be saved from birth, to be numb from the waste and to be sterilized, probed, poked, and separated from her baby. Susan Arms states “If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation —or love and trust.” Remember, a lot has changed in our recent history that improves birth outcomes tremendously. We now live in a culture where we have running water, wash our hands, our homes are equipped with sewers and bath facilities, and there’s readily available food sources. What we have gained in knowledge of nutrition alone has improved birth outcomes and the general health and well-being of our families extensively. Home birth is not for everyone. It is safe for approximately 95% of all expected births. And for those that hear the call— My life has opened wide to embrace these births With hands warm and loving I feel so honored to answer the holy call of midwifery To help women discover their essence and strength as they work to bring forth new life. And to watch them welcome their new child With our hearts, with our voices, with our hands |
