Midwifes BeardMemoirs Chapter 12. Rooted

9/30/2022
Chapter 12. Rooted. Midwives encounter ebbs and flow in a birth journey. What works for one woman's story is different from that of another, but the elemental forces of nature have a huge role to play in many births and birth stories. Two short birth stories are remembered here, their needs were shared but contextually different. Chapter 12 is a short recount and observation with a broader meaning and will be better correlated with Chapter 4 Hips, Hippies and Hipsters (which I haven't recorded yet, but will) that has a completely different solution, there is no one cap fits all.
