Dagens sanning

Så här vill jag jobba... Det här är ett utdrag från en barnmorskeorganisation i USA; Midwives Alliance of North America (Statement of values and Ethics).

We walue:

- The oneness of the pregnant mother and her unborn child; an inseparable and interdependent whole.

- The essential mystery of birth.

- Pregnancy and birth as intimate, internal, sexual and private events to be shared in the environment and with the attendants a woman chooses.

- A mother’s intuitive knowledge of herself and her baby before and after birth.

- A woman’s innate ability to nurture her pregnancy and birth her baby; the power and the beauty of her body as it grows and the awesome strength summoned in labor.

- Our relationship to a process larger than ourselves, recognizing that birth is something we can seek to learn from and know, but never control.

- The concept of self-responsibility and the right of individuals to make choices regarding what they deem best for themselves.
