Exercise in pregnancy is so important!

It's nice out today. Get out and take a walk.

My blog post today explores an important ethical principle that should underpin decisions in maternity care, but isn't often discussed.

The precautionary principle.

It once played an important role in health care, but its use seems to have been eroded as the culture of maternity care has changed.

In my blog post, I look at what the precautionary principle is, how it used to function, and what its erosion means for women, babies, and those who care for them.

Hey clients,

Do you have any pictures you would be OK with us sending to these Midwifery researchers? 

They are looking for pictures of midwives at work.

If you are interested in having your photos used, we would send you their release to fill out and then you can just message us pictures through here.

Liz is compiling a folder for them in Google Photos. 

The moments after a birth at home. A midwife charting in a client's kitchen. A family in a birth center, siblings meeting their baby for the first time, right there in the room.

Those moments are real, and they're hard to find. When we need images to tell the story of community birth and the midwives who support it, stock photos rarely come close.

If you have photos or videos that capture community birth, community birth midwives at work, or the families and settings at the heart of this work, we'd love to hear from you.

Your images can help us:
✦ Show colleagues what CBDR is and why it matters
✦ Make the case for community birth data in a way numbers alone can't
✦ Reflect the real, human work you do every day
