Midwives and Uterine Rupture: What We Have to Offer by Kristin Eggleston
Given that uterine rupture is much more likely in the presence of a scar and/or synthetic hormones, one could reasonably assume that caregivers who have low rates of these interventions also have lower rates of rupture. Studies have shown that midwives have much lower rates of interventions and comparable mortality rates than do hospitals treating similar low-risk women.

Midwives aren’t an “alternative.”
They are the evidence‑based, relationship‑centered, physiologic‑first model of care the U.S. desperately needs.
Families deserve better.
Hire a midwife.

Our maternity system is struggling — high intervention rates, high C‑section rates, and some of the worst maternal outcomes in the developed world.
Midwifery care changes that.
It’s safer for low‑risk pregnancies, more personalized, and rooted in respect.
Hire a midwife.

Birth isn’t broken.
The system is.
Midwives bring back what works: continuity, trust, patience, and physiologic birth.
If you want better outcomes, better experiences, and better support — hire a midwife.

You’ve heard the rumors, but is it true? Does eating dates during pregnancy improve labor outcomes? I review the data in this article, plus cover the blood sugar response to eating dates in various combinations.

This message came in this morning from a doula. Thoughts? Mom is planning a homebirth. "Hi Karen! I was wondering if you could maybe make a post on one of your pages about moms experiences with "false labor" or even long labors that stall. I have a mama that started labor yesterday evening, laboring all throughout the night & then late morning the next day it all started slowing, fizzled out. She's feeling very defeated of course. I thought maybe she'd like to read some others experiences that relate while she waits. 🫶"
