Birth matters. Not all of us will give birth, but each of us has been born. The living processes of conception, gestation, labor, birth, and becoming a newborn human being constitute precious miracles of mythic proportions that happen only once, ever, and can never be redone. And they impact how our lives will unfold. But these innate processes are in peril. Why? Because most births in the USA occur in institutions where dollars drive decisions, value is based on volume of billable hours, and women's bodies are vulnerable to medical control. For the 4 million women in the USA who give birth every year, not only is the American maternity care system not providing optimal, safe, high-quality, cost-effective care, it is actually harming many of them. The USA has the highest rate of maternal mortality among developed nations, and in a study of the 28 wealthiest countries in the world, the US had the highest infant mortality rate. A racial division that begins at birth with disparities in access and unequal provision of healthcare characterizes how an infant born in the US will fare. There is an evidence-based and immediate way to address unnecessary disparities, mortality, morbidity, dissatisfaction, dehumanization, and excessive costs in maternal and infant healthcare. The evidence is clear both in the US and globally: where women have greater access to midwives, they and their infants fare better. The Midwife Matrix: Reclaiming Our Bodies, Our Births, and Our Lives pushes us to ask provocative questions about the for-profit American healthcare machine, and offers a hopeful alternative in which people who give birth are empowered with the knowledge they need to make informed choices about their reproductive health. Geradine Simkins, a lifelong midwife and social justice activist, offers a blend of statistics, stories and cultural narratives that highlight a model she has envisioned. Her model, The Midwife Matrix, encodes twelve vital qualities that interact together in an unending loop, each quality as important as the next. The 12 essential qualities are: context, content, holism, nature, sacred, relationship, compassion, self-determination, service, activism, courage, and lineage. The Midwife Matrix is a call to action to bring our best selves to the task of revolutionizing a healthcare system that is profoundly failing. It provides a blueprint to improve outcomes, address racial and ethnic disparities, reduce costs, ensure equity, and increase satisfaction. Each reader is invited to step up in creating sustainable systems and sustainable communities that support, not destroy, the web of life, the planet on which we live, and the bodies, minds, and spirits of the Earth's living beings. The Midwife Matrix is a doable, sustainable, replicable model. The stories woven throughout this book depict how the 12 essential qualities work in real-life, and leave no doubt that these qualities are foundational to a compassionate and sustainable future. These interconnected qualities form a matrix for changing hearts, changing minds, changing policies, and quite possibly, changing the world.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • This modern classic from the author of The Flight Attendant is a compulsively readable novel that explores questions of human responsibility that are as fundamental to our society now as they were when the book was first published. A selection of Oprah's original Book Club that has sold more than two million copies. On an icy winter night in an isolated house in rural Vermont, a seasoned midwife named Sibyl Danforth takes desperate measures to save a baby’s life. She performs an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died of stroke. But what if—as Sibyl's assistant later charges—the patient wasn't already dead? The ensuing trial bears the earmarks of a witch hunt, forcing Sibyl to face the antagonism of the law, the hostility of traditional doctors, and the accusations of her own conscience. Exploring the complex and emotional decisions surrounding childbirth, Midwives engages, moves, and transfixes us as only the very best novels ever do. Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!

What an honour and a joy to be present and to be part of the lives of so many people at birth, the most precious of times. The experience of birth and life is so amazing, and yet the return home of a soul so wanted, is heartbreaking for those that are left. Reassurance that this soul knows that at this time its body is incompatible with its chosen path of learning, yet will return to honour another form at the right time, is so healing.

Spiritual Midwifery is considered by many to be the bible of the home birth movement. This classic book on natural childbirth introduced a whole generation of women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. At a time when higher levels of technology were the wave of the future, the home birth movement testified to the naturalness and normalcy of the birthing process-even the sacredness of it. Ina May Gaskin, the author, is a powerful advocate for a woman's right to give birth without excessive and unnecessary medical intervention. Now in its fourth edition, her voice is needed as much now as then. In today's climate of unprecedented numbers of cesarean sections and induced labor, knowledge of this birthing process enables women to make informed choices regarding their maternity care and delivery options. The birthing stories and section on care of the newborn are valuable to anyone about to become a parent. One of the highlights of this book is the collection of amazing birth tales that replaces misconceptions about childbirth with an awareness of the rights of mothers and babies to experience a conscious and loving process. Birthing tales from ladies who were babies in earlier editions of Spiritual Midwifery and stories of Amish women from a nearby community who were delivered by The Farm Midwives bring a fresh perspective. Also new to this edition is information on postpartum depression and maternal death along with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, and the safety of popular practices such as labor induction and cesarean operations. Photos of ecstatic faces of mothers and babies permeate the pages. The section on instructions to midwives provides excellent clinical information for all health professionals who attend births. The stories and information in this volume will remain relevant to women for generations to come.

The author of The Blue Cotton Gown recounts living free and naturally against all odds—and discovering her true calling as a midwife—in this deeply moving memoir In her first, highly praised memoir, Patricia Harman told us the stories patients brought into her exam room, and her own story of struggling to help women as a nurse-midwife in medical practice with her husband—an OB/GYN—in Appalachia. Now, Patsy reaches back to the 1960s and 1970s, recounting how she learned to deliver babies and her youthful experiments with living a fully sustainable, natural life. Drawing heavily on her journals, Arms Wide Open goes back to a time of counter-culture idealism that the boomer generation remembers well. Patsy opens with stories of living in the wilds of Minnesota in a log cabin she and her lover build with their own hands, the only running water being the nearby streams. They set up beehives and give chase to a bear competing for the honey. Patsy gives birth and learns to help her friends deliver as naturally as possible. Weary of the cold and isolation, Patsy moves to a commune in West Virginia, where she becomes a self-taught midwife delivering babies in cabins and homes. Her stories sparkle with drama and intensity, but she wants to help more women than healthy hippie homesteaders. After a ten-year sojourn for professional training, Patsy and her husband return to Appalachia, where they set up a women's health practice. They deliver babies together—this time in hospitals—and care for a wide variety of gyn patients. They live in a lakeside contemporary home, though their hearts are still firmly implanted in nature. The obstetrical climate is changing. The Harmans' family is changing. The earth is changing—but Patsy's arms remain wide open to life and all it offers. Her memoir of living free and sustainably against all odds will be especially embraced by anyone who lived through the Vietnam War and commune era, and all those involved in the back-to-nature and natural-childbirth movements.

In a remote corner of West Africa, Monique Dembele saved lives and dispensed hope every day in a place where childbirth is a life-and-death matter.

In the course of this deeply personal narrative, as readers immerse in village life and learn firsthand the rhythms of Moniques world, they come to know her as a friend, as a mother, and as an inspired woman who struggled to find her place in a male-dominated world.
