Midwifery in America
Midwives have existed since the beginning of humanity. Why, then, is it so difficult to
find a midwife in America? What events occured between the mid 1800's until the
present day which nearly made midwifery extinct in America? And why are more families now
looking into homebirth as a refuge from hospital care?
Home Sweet Homebirth pulls no punches when supporting Homebirth and the
Midwifery Model of care as the gold standard for birth. Many candid interviews with noted
doctors, midwives, historians and educators serve as a penetrating backdrop to the
startling facts about the mistreatment of midwives.
Home Sweet Homebirth serves us well in educational settings, at school, at
meetings or in the library. This video will quickly find a prominent spot on your video
shelf.
Accompaning the video is a valuable packet of reproducable pages of information for
meetings and presentations and also an extensive listing of resources and bibliography
which will enlighten you and can be used to promote lively discussions.
