Q: What is your favorite technique for educating the public about midwifery and natural birth?
Word of mouth. I tell everyone who will listen (and even those who won't) about my homebirthed baby. I may be at grocery stores, shopping malls, the DMV. When anyone comments on my beautiful son, I make sure to share that he was born at home with a midwife. I wear T-shirts that speak of midwifery, and dress my homebirthed baby in clothes that say "I was born at home."
