The season of giving is upon us. And that means it is time to find a gift for the birth worker in your life.
The life of a birth worker is one that can be hard for others to truly grasp. The realities of being on-call around the clock, and the items that are most precious when you live your life according to the unpredictable schedule of birth, are difficult to comprehend until you live it. Which makes finding the perfect gift for the birth worker in your life all the more difficult. That’s why we created the 2024 Birth Worker Gift Guide.
This straightforward, three-page guide contains links to some of the most frequently needed, and most highly cherished, items in a birth worker’s personal arsenal. These are the items that help your doula, midwife, student midwife, birth photographer, labor and delivery nurse, etc. care for themselves before, during, and after caring for you.
As an added bonus, every time you purchase an item using a link in this gift guide, a portion of your sale goes to Midwives College of Utah’s Briana Blackwelder Equal Access Scholarship Fund. This fund covers the tuition costs for student midwives around the country who are making a difference in the maternity care crisis our country currently faces.
A recent report by the March of Dimes found that 35% of counties in the US have no access to maternity care. Numerous studies have shown that investing in midwifery care is the best way to reverse worsening trends in morbidity and mortality rates among birthing people and their babies. By supporting student midwives, you are saving lives. So check out the gift guide at the link below and take a step towards making a change.
