Are you going to let your family meet your baby in

Are you going to let your family meet your baby in person or will you stick to virtual? 👋⁠
⁠
With COVID restrictions lessening as the vaccine is now widely available, things are (finally!) changing. Planning to introduce your new baby to family and friends is always an exciting time. ⁠
⁠
Comment below with your plans. 👇👇⁠
⁠
p.s. - If you plan to do in person I suggest you wait at least a month before you introduce your baby to more than a few people. Their immune systems are learning in that first month and if they get sick during that time it's a very big evaluation so you want to avoid that if you can.

🌟An Overview Of Midwifery Care🌟⁠
⁠
Did you know there are different categories of midwives or that they can provide care beyond pregnancy? ⁠
⁠
This week's episode is inspired by Heidi's Birth Story (drnicolerankins.com/epsiode119) and how she described how well her midwife worked with her doctor to help her have a beautiful birth. I have worked with midwives since my residency and still work with them today. I fully support collaborating with them to help provide the best care for patients. ⁠
⁠
You'll learn - ⁠
▶️ What midwifery is and what values midwives uphold⁠
▶️ What makes each category of midwifery different: certified nurse midwives, certified midwives, and certified professional midwives⁠
▶️ How education and training varies across classifications⁠
▶️ How the scope of midwifery extends beyond pregnancy and birth⁠
▶️ Whether insurance covers midwifery⁠
▶️ How models of midwifery vary from state to state⁠
▶️ What collaborative agreements are and how they can help or hinder the services midwives provide⁠
⁠
Join me in today's podcast and let me know if you plan to use a midwife or if this helped you make that decision. Comment below!⁠
