About Womynwise
This is a blog for WomynWise.
It is a gift to the world for the words that need to pour forth in the name of women.
For the sake of a woman’s right to birth as she sees fit in the comfort of her own home.
And for the sake of the skilled attendants who aid and empower these women in an unmedicalized manner.

I am saddened to hear about Maggie’s plight. I have lived in S. Illinois for over a year and met two CNMs in preparation for eventaully having a baby here. I did not particularly mesh with either of them and felt criticized when I expressed my desires to have an intervention-free delivery (no IVs, etc, considering I have already had a baby without complications while living in a more progressive area.) I am now pregnant and would very much like to find a feminist practitioner. I would appreciate any suggestions and wish Maggie the best of luck.
