You might be surprised to discover that my job, as a midwife, is not actually to catch your baby.
(Don’t get me wrong, baby catching is a beautiful perk for sure.)
•
But what you’re actually hiring me for is to be the guardian of normal.
•
My job is to recognize the bounds of what is healthy/low-risk versus what is not.
My job is to present to you what is standard of care, what is evidence based, where you have options and then empower you to make informed decisions.
•
My job is to identify if we move out of the healthy, low-risk category and then to care for you while we transition to “Plan B”.

My job is to tell you the whole truth.
———
The ultimate goal is not “out of hospital birth at all costs”, but rather “Healthy Mom & Baby at all costs.”

Yes, hiring a midwife drastically reduces your risk for unnecessary interventions and preventable complications.
But even then, some families will experience risk factors that may require a change of venue or plans.
•
And that change never means “failure”.
It means we’re doing whatever we can to meet our goal.
•
And for the families who will experience all of their plans unraveling…

I’ll walk with you through it until we’re on the other side.
And once you are home & snuggled in your own bed,

I’ll come over and sit with you.

We’ll process out what happened.
We’ll ask all the questions and only sometimes get answers.
We’ll cry if there’s heartache, and I’ll fight for you if there’s trauma.
•
Every time I walk the halls of a hospital or find myself kicking off my shoes to sit down with a mama who is struggling…I am reminded that midwifery is not always rainbows and butterflies.

Sometimes, this job calls us to walk with women through the trenches and back.
To hold space for heartache, and to be keepers of the grieving.
♥️

The word midwife literally means “with woman”.

With Woman when she’s growing,
when she’s laughing,
when she’s pushing,
when she’s facing fear.
With Woman as she becomes Mother.

With Woman in all seasons, and in every version of her story.

That, my friends, is my real job.

*ETA: there's been quite a few comments/disagreement with the use of the CTG as the photo for this post. Considering it was mid transport and extremely preterm delivery...it felt like a fitting photo for the moment...a homebirth mama experiencing a change in plans, and a midwife out of her usual element. I was standing here when the words came to mind...and capturing what was in front of me seemed fitting. ❤ A picture full of rainbows and butterflies would have defeated the whole point.
