I was a Midwife (guess I always will be)...a homebirth Midwife. Love and patience were my greatest tools when I was honored to serve families. Sadly, you are spot on that the 'education' can rip the heart/soul right out of midwifery. Your family is beautiful, and yes, yes, yes birth is natural without the need of 'professionals' hovering around. Such a lovely attitude and energy you have. I am so excited to find a story like this here on Steemit. :)
