Baby Magic, Granny Sense: talking about women’s bodies: reproductive rights, running, birth attendants, radical love. Real stories from real women.
Rivka Cymbalist
Real stories by real women about about having babies (or not!), running, getting old, women‘s health, doulas, free birthing, home birth, midwifery care, radical healing, death, being an impostor, depression, joy, magic...and more! Views should not be taken as medical advice. Ask a midwife; seek answers. My chats are informal: ordinary women share their extraordinary stories about birth, ultra running, love, revolution, and gentleness. Among other topics. Listen up!
Denver-based home birth midwives Gina Gerboth and Nedra Hale discuss all things birth and breastfeeding, some of which might be of interest home birth families, midwives, and student midwives.
Midwives from all around the world share work conditions, political landscape, community support, and health metrics where they work as well as some amazing birth stories and clinical updates! If you're someone who cares about maternal child health and wants to see midwifery as the gold standard for normal birth around the globe, join us as we give voice to the revolution!
