I don't know about the midwife in this post cuz I didn't understand a damn thing she was talking about. Naturally there are always some who will stray to one extreme or the other (granola crunching crystal midwives vs medwives). I like to think I am somewhere in the middle.Ciarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01265859556543021100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336046169844260069.post-16064127634417393642007-07-01T16:12:00.000-07:002007-07-01T16:12:00.000-07:00emjaybee,You're going to be a midwife?

After all, they're CNMs, and they only deliver in the hospital. It was only that midwife (the second I saw, but she seems to be my regular midwife now, through no real choice of my own) that I worried about.Dr. Confusedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299137746687520246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336046169844260069.post-31932798679131658322007-06-28T17:34:00.000-07:002007-06-28T17:34:00.000-07:00There are still a lot of crunchy granola crystal m...There are still a lot of crunchy granola crystal midwife types, but I run into more of them now who talk about "evidence-based medicine" and cite stats about the problems with high c/sec rates, etc. That's the kind of midwife I hope to be when I get a chance to do my own schooling.emjaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702493830415324423noreply@blogger.com
