I’m here to shake shit up within the American maternity medical industrial complex, while also highlighting the benefits of midwifery care. CNM/APRN

Last week, a 20-year-old Oklahoma woman was convicted of manslaughter for experiencing a miscarriage at 17 weeks and sentenced to 4 years in state prison. (1/2)

Another day, another patient being coerced into a c-section. When will this end?

Decreased access to abortion care in Texas will open up a new subset of problems. Just wait for it.

@miraREMEL This type of toxic culture found on labor units runs off the doulas. It’s such a shame because these are the places that could benefit from them the most!

@SassyE Sometimes people have to see things for themselves to fully understand the seriousness and level of depth behind the actions of others. It’s a shame it has to be like this.

@SweetInTheGale @SubFeminist America desperately needs this, along with universal healthcare. Unfortunately, corporate greed stops of from achieving accessible and affordable midwifery care. Things will continue to get worse for us.

The toxic hospital labor culture doesn’t allow for birthing people requesting a non-interventional birth to have that experience. It’s a very “shit or get off the pot” type of culture.

@anonhuman_1 Most definitely!

This is the sad truth and just one of the reasons why primary c-section rates are high at some facilities.

[The Defiant Midwife @DefiantMidwife]

The physician will suggest or coerce the laboring patient into a c-section to free up a room so they can get their induction patient off the list and into a labor room.
