Welcome to the Midwifery Today Community Web Site!

We hope you will find this site an exciting way to connect with others who are interested in birth. The forums are the heart of the site they are where you will meet to discuss your problems, ideas, hopes and dreams. As time goes by, you will also find a few blogs written by Midwifery Today staff members and special friends, as well as other goodies.

Our calling has always been to bring together people who are interested in birth. It happens at conferences, in the pages of Midwifery Today magazine, in E-News and on our Web site. Now it can happen, to an even greater extent, in this new birth community.

Again: Welcome and enjoy!

  • Re: where has all the pubic hair gone?

    I'd throw up on myself if I said "nudie patootie" during a labor! In fact, I'd probably throw up on myself if I talked much at all. Ha! Nudie patootie came just sort of rolled off my fingers (although we say "fangers" down here) . Nothing good rhymed with ... yoni, mons, pubic area. Even better would have been cutie nudie...

    Wow. My daddies usually comment that all the video dads have the Chester the Molester mustache but don't comment on the women's nether regions. That's funny. Maybe it depends on what part of the country you live in. I hope I act nonchalant when I come across my first nudie patootie.

  • What NOT to do as an apprentice...

    Hi ladies! I recently started apprenticing with 2 wonderful midwives and I'm loving it. I really want to make sure I am being helpful but unobtrusive, so I'd love to hear some of your "what NOT to do's" concerning my presence at births. Or, keep it positive and give me the "to do's"! What do you love for an apprentice...
