Did you know you can receive excellent midwifery care right here in north Arlington? Tammy McKinley, a neighbor and friend of mine, is a practicing midwife. If you were from the Seattle area, where I'm from, this wouldn't seem especially unusual, since there are so many midwives in practice in that area. But here on the east coast, the trend is much smaller but growing, so I'm delighted to let you know that a wonderful midwife is really, really nearby. Midwife-attended births are growing in number world-wide, as more and more people learn the huge benefits of evidence-based, natural maternal and infant care.
You can contact Tammi at tammi@naturalbeginnings.org
My daughter, Leah, was born with attending midwife and doula, and I'm a huge advocate of giving birth this way. If you'd like to learn more, here's a good place to start: http://cfmidwifery.org/index.aspx
And a great book to read is Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, a terrific overview by legendary midwife Ina May Gaskin.
