CURRENT MOON

 

 
Due to the ambiguous legal status of direct-entry midwives in Georgia the midwives are at risk. 

I have recently been investigated by both the Medical Board and a local county district attorney for practicing midwifery.  

Fortunately both these investigations have been closed but the legal fees were staggering.  If you feel led to help any donation would be appreciated.

 

Home Birth in Georgia ...

Welcome friends and family! This is my space for passing on info about what is happening in my practice and local midwifery politics. I will make every attempt to add the new babies as they arrive. 


~~~  Congratulations to Ruth, Jeremy and Anjuli on the birth of Keona Esther.  She arrived at home on Tuesday, May 27th.  Everyone is doing great!  As you can see being a big sister has been no problem for our junior apprentice. ~~~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many women feel there is no safer or more loving place to give birth than in their own home with the assistance of a midwife. The home setting is familiar and natural -- a place where the new baby and family are together from the start.

For low-risk pregnancies, there is no evidence to suggest that giving birth in the hospital is safest. The evidence does show much lower rates of obstetrical intervention, such as forceps and c/section deliveries, with midwife assisted births.

Compared with hospital delivery, home birth asks more of parents -- more participation, more responsibility -- and also gives parents more control and involvement in this intimate event. The woman, her family, and the midwife become partners in the health and well-being of the mother and the baby.

Our practice is open to low-risk mothers and serves a limited area so we can provide more focused care.  If you live within an hour's drive from Lilburn we would love to hear from you.  For current information regarding midwifery in Georgia, please visit the GA Friends of Midwives (GFOM) website.


The Georgia Legislative Study Committee Meetings for Direct-Entry Midwives were held the end of 2006.  Final Recommendations have been released and can be reviewed by clicking on the blue text above.
