Obstetrics emerged from midwifery—not the other way around.
When male physicians entered the birth space in the 18th–19th centuries, they:

Learned by observing midwives
Adopted midwifery techniques
Added surgical tools (like forceps)
Medicalized and institutionalized birth
This shift was driven by professional politics, not evidence.

Did you know that eating 3-6 eggs a day while pregnant provides the choline needed to protect against neural tube defects?

Sufficient choline intake also supports brain and liver health.

Thankful for all this season has brought us. The quality time, the presence, the reflection, and all the magical serendipitous moments in between. Sending love to you all this holiday season!

Enjoy this fun little bingo card too! While I didn’t manage any of these births as the primary midwife l, I had the honor of assisting them. Each birth teaching me so much and helping shape the midwife I’m to become.
Forever thankful for for guiding me through this process and creating such amazing learning opportunities! 💕
