Many of you that know me know about my love and passion for pregnancy and birth. My connection to pregnancy and birth began at a young age. I would sit next to the pregnant ladies at church and even offered to come to the birth. I didn't have fears I just knew I thought I could help and wanted to be there. I have a facination in the miracle and all that go's along with it. So almost 6 years ago I certified as a birth doula and have enjoyed serving woman through Pregnancy, Labour, birth and postpartum. Even then I felt that I wasn't making a big enough difference to help woman get past the "One size Fit's all" medical model set forth by doctors and hospitals. I have watched the cesarean rate climb to an ugodly percent of 50% and higher in hospitals but midwifery care has sustained 5% or less. After much prayer, the right door has opened and I am now enrolled in the Association of Texas Midwives (ATM) training program. I will be apprenticing with midwife Donnellyn Dominguez LM, CPM for All About Babies Midwifery. I am super excited and nervous about some of the challenges ahead. The biggest challenges are tuition and childcare. Please pray with me for these specific areas.
If you are a reader of this blog in need of safe prenatal or well woman care please consider interviewing Donnellyn. You can check out her site at www.allaboutbabies.net or call or text her at 817.994.0470 She is a fabulous Christian woman who believes in the normalcy of birth and has respect for the woman, her body and her choices. She is up to date and conscious of any problems that may happen and is ready to take action when nessasary. Thanks again everyone for reading and praying like I know you will.
