I have an assistant now. I'll have to think of a good name for her. She's a really super sweet lady, really smart, and our personalities mesh really well. After only three births with me, she is already fantastic at setting up, cleaning up, charting, etc. Sure, she has stuff to learn, but she makes my job so much easier!
Once I get my CPM I will begin signing off skills for her and she will be my apprentice. The teaching role is really fun. This is going to add an entirely new dimension to midwifery, I am sure.
About Me
- One Hot Mama
- I'm an early forties (advanced maternal age) mother of eight (grand multipara) who has had babies every way you can have them. Three in the hospital with docs and drugs; fourth baby at home with a lay midwife; fifth baby a c-section; sixth an HBAC waterbirth that my hubby caught, seventh an unattended home waterbirth and the eighth an emergency c-section. I'm a self-proclaimed birth junkie. I love movies and music, and I'm addicted to having babies and helping others have them too.

Oh, that's so exciting!
I can't believe how quickly December is coming... I'll be in your neck of the woods in no time at this rate.
I hope things continue going well for you!

She is a lucky lady! Being an apprentice midwife is one of my back-burner dreams. Someday, maybe. But to everything there is a season & this season is already quite full!
