I had the extreme pleasure to attend my daughters' career day. Probably something a lot of community midwives in Georgia wouldn't do since our careers are under constant threat!
But I loved the opportunity. I taught 4 classes of 4th and 5th graders about the precious work of community midwives.
I also learned a lot from them. Kids are ao wild!🤣
1st- Kids know a Lot more about pregnancy than we believe. We touched on subjects of pregnancy loss, rainbow babies, c-section and how babies receive nutrients from mom. I did not attempt to "dumb" it down for them. Straight information!
2nd-Kids, especially boys, want to know more about the process and their role in it. Especially since it seems more related to women's health. They asked what the male partners role in it. They asked so many questions about periods! Lol that really shocked me.
I talked about the uterus and it's role. Only a few were grossed out. Lol even the teachers had questions!
Overall it was an amazing day for me!
Would you attend a career day as a birthworker?
