The Midwife From Hell

Happy Birthday Twin Aminah from your mommy. "Beautiful blessings." I wish I could touch your skin again beautiful baby girl. When I see your sister I smile because I know your beautiful like her. May we always have a spiritual connection. I will love you always and praise your name.

I didn't want to do this because Rachel asked me not to. I actually think it's way over due. Below is an email that was sent from Rachel Williston. She sent me this email after NARM informed me that there was going to be no punitive action against Joann Falcon. More education was the verdict. The email below was sitting in my email inbox in october just out the "blue". I sent in the requested information and you know what happened after that.                                       NOTHING I even emailed both Rachel and Shannon back and they have not returned my email.

I am very happy for you.  Our Missouri Midwives Association Board has decided there needs to be more in depth follow up on the recom...

Don't just let your midwife slide you the Informed Consent form and not go over it. You would be surprised a lot of midwives do this. Informed Consent  is a process for getting permission before conducting a health care intervention on a person. A  health care provider  may ask a patient to  consent  to receive therapy  before providing it. How many women have had their midwife discuss with them their disclosure? The reason why I ask this question is because women are being processed for candidates for home birth but have not passed the health care assessments to be able to fulfill a potential spot for a desired home birth.  Believe me what I say when I say, woman choose to home birth because we want to birth away from hospital technology and get back to the basics of natural birth. That is still my theory today but I must say you can have a natural birth in a hospital setting.  I am not completely against home birth but I am for...

I remember when I was pregnant the midwife would set up visits in a few different places in my city. Sometimes she would set up at an old friends house and have all her visits there. The next time the visit would be in a hotel conference room. When I became farther along the visits would be held at my house. During the time of my pregnancy with the twins Joann would give me lists of things to be purchased for the home birth. Sometimes is was different herbs and supplements. At other times it was the birthing pool and all the equipment that comes along with the pool. Lets not forget to mention the birthing kit. The birthing kit including things that would be need on the day of the birth. Every time Joann came to visit me I gave her money. I can recall writing receipts for $300 for every visit.Some of money covered items needed like the hearing test and the blood work for newborns to test for abnormalities. When it all came down to it I probably ended up spending over $6,000 for items ...

When you type in the simple word, "Home Birth" below are the links and information that is available. There is a problem with this. The problem is that when most women gather their information regarding home birth. The disaster stories are hidden under rest of the home birth information. When women are planning to home birth they do not search home birth disasters because in their mind they are not preparing for a disaster. Google search can misrepresent home birth in many ways. Google can make home birth appear safe in all aspects, it hides criminal midwives, and it most definitely hides the risk assessments. Yes, Yes, Yes, it is always up to the parents to do the research regarding home birth and boy let me tell you that is a lot of research. There will be nothing that can prepare you for something like the midwife being late or not showing at all to the birth. There will be nothing that can prepare you if you chose an uneducated midwife. So, Please let your search...
