Looks like you made it just in time!!  It makes me nervous that they are forcing midwives to go "underground" - I wouldn't want a midwife in any way scared to take a client to a hospital if it was needed. :-(

  • Yea, I know. My midwives were really involved in trying to keep St. Vincents open and I feel so fortunate that we had Freddie at home while it was still "legal." But the whole situation disgusts me....even though I know its not the choice for the majority of pregnant women to have a home birth, we should have that choice.

  • A follow-up: I just got an email from my midwives asking for our support. You can contact your senator and assembly person(s) to show your support for the bill that is possibly moving forward!

    I don't normally do a lot of political action, but this is a very important issue that is dear to my heart! If you want to show your support and can take a few minutes - myself and Freddie would greatly appreciate it! TIA!!
