There’s a midwife rally this Thursday at 5pm on the south lawn of the Capitol. Work permitting, we’ll all be there. You can get more information here.
The rally is basically to support access to midwives in all settings: home, birth center, and hospital. Access to midwives in hospitals here in Austin was severely limited last year when both Brackenridge and Seton lost support for midwife managed births for various political and financial reasons. For those that are unaware, The Boy was delivered by a midwife at a birth center (which is now a craft store) and The La was delivered by another midwife at our house.
