Make sure you take time out to appreciate and support your independant midwives girls. They really are doing an awesome job for us, and the flak that some of them cop is ridiculous. For these lovely people it really is more than just a job to them. It is their way of life
Oh, I completely agree. Supporting groups like Maternity Coalition and other local homebirth and maternity services lobby groups goes a long way to help say "we appreicate what you do and we will support you". I'm involved in a few such groups.

I just treats, pressies and the like also go a long way too huh
