Center for Indigenous Midwifery
This is a space to share reproductive wisdom, traditions and stories of indigenous families and indigenous birth workers.www.indigenous-midwifery.org
Midwifery for the People is a podcast about reimagining the way we approach the entirety of the birthing year. Margo’s goal is to combine her radical imagination with her knack for strategizing to bolster the birth revolution and a larger global revolution of feminine consciousness.
Midwifery Minutes is a free study tool for midwives and midwifery students. Focus is on topics of knowledge required by NARM and ACNM, but anything birth, pregnancy, or reproductive health is fair game!
This podcast begins an ongoing conversation about midwifery and the historical, social, economic, and political aspects.
Midwives from all around the world share work conditions, political landscape, community support, and health metrics where they work as well as some amazing birth stories and clinical updates! If you're someone who cares about maternal child health and wants to see midwifery as the gold standard for normal birth around the globe, join us as we give voice to the revolution!
Denver-based home birth midwives Gina Gerboth and Nedra Hale discuss all things birth and breastfeeding, some of which might be of interest home birth families, midwives, and student midwives.
Hello, we are Rachel and Erin! Come join us for a spot of tea as we talk all things Call the Midwife. Rachel and Erin have been friends for over a decade. We’ve spent a lot of our friendship living on separate ends of the US. It reminds us of how the show went on after Jenny Lee left Nonnatus House, but remained connected. Much of our lives are comprised of comings and goings, doors opening and closing, or perhaps a window. By moments, meetings, and happenings. The event doesn’t have to be l ...

contractions: the politics of midwifery
Rodante van der Waal
Contractions is a podcast about the politics of midwifery. All contractions address the analysis and practical change of one political issue surrounding childbirth, such as obstetric or reproductive violence, care, workload, sexism or racism. Every contraction is necessary to cope with in order to arrive at the birth of a midwifery care wherein all pregnant people feel free, safe, and emotionally and physically supported. Contractions' aim is to start an international dialogue with midwives ...
I changed the name of my podcast! Now it is called Midwifery for the People and in this episode I will tell you all about why that is, and some of the history of this podcast and how it reflects my evolution as a midwife. I hope to provide even more aligned content that feels […]Av Margo Blackstone
