“The Big Push for Midwives Campaign today announced it has launched the new Where's My Midwife? community mapping tool (https://wheresmymidwife.ushahidi.io) to help connect midwives trained in out-of-hospital birth with people whose babies may need to be born in out-of-hospital settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent weeks, reports show the demand for home birth has increased dramatically. While a complete formal contact directory of midwives in the U.S. does not exist, the Big Push has activated its PushState network of midwives to help families, including those who planned a hospital birth, but who do not want to go to an overwhelmed hospital crowded with COVID-19 patients or be forced to give birth alone.”
I'm always wishing I could tell the future, when it might rain, when I'll run out of clean laundry, or when a client will go into labor. Thankfully, when it comes to my cycle I almost can! Some people read cards, but I learned to read my cervix using the S.H.O.W. method. If my cervix is soft, high, open, and wet I know ovulation is just around the corner.
