CA #NurseMidwives work hard to improve #MaternalHealth & educate policymakers about the benefits of #MidwiferyCare & reducing unnecessary c/s. Our fight to remove physician supervision won't stop; even in the face of powerful CMA lobbying group https://t.co/dXkAmOPh7K

4/ we have surprising challenges in making basic pregnancy care accessible, with only 50% of U.S. counties having a qualified midwife or obstetrician...

and tremendous variation in quality of care from hospital to hospital

What are #Midwives? They are working to improve care in NY @GovCuomo appoints Midwife Sascha Conterelli to State Taskforce addressing #maternalmortality #racialdisparities If we are part of the leadership to find answers, we should be fully integrated in systems to improve care!

#USMidwives If we are part of the leadership to find answers, we should be fully integrated in all maternity care systems to improve care!

What was the result of yesterday’s vote? @CalMidwives

[Ginger Breedlove PhD, CNM @GingerBreedlove]

145K views so far, many negative comments suggesting - us v them, causation v correlation, promulgating 'war' vs 'camaraderie'. We need team based models of maternity care with mutual trust and respect. #ENOUGH There is a place for everyone interested in improving maternity care!

More girls become teenage parents than boys each year at a rate of around 4:1. At first I didn't understand how more girls could become teen parents than boys. Then I read the research and its because most teen girls become pregnant by adult men, not by other teen boys. :(

Check out the latest @voxdotcom video that takes a look at #midwives & how they have been at the center of a culture war that’s deeply rooted in #race and class in #America. https://t.co/F2b69ZoGMC #worthyourtime

Midwife history: Did U know George Washington's mother had a midwife for his birth? She was a friend,a Midwife & a slave. Think what might be possible if midwives delivered more babies. @CalMidwives @autumnrburke @JimWoodAD2 YES #AB2682
