Just returned from Midwives Alliance Conference


Well... I have been home a week from the Mecca for Midwives, the annual Midwives Alliance of North America conference. This year we gathered in Traverse City, Michigan where the fall leaves were like nothing I ever see here in Texas, red, orange, yellow, gold, yellow-orange, red-yellow, you get the picture. I had a wonderful time working and sharing stories with all of my midwife friends from around the country. The conference is not only a place for us laugh and sing and dance, it is also a political hotbed where women from many different Midwifery organizations who support Normal Birth get together to discuss tactics for increasing midwifery access for ALL women. This is something I feel passionately about and will certainly continue to blog about.

The picture above was taken at breakfast with Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein, producer and director of The Business of Being Born.
