I've kept a list of funny things people say when they're trying to describe or ask for a "midwife". In the places I've worked I've been called.... (this is for real!)
Wet Nurse (!)
Housewife
Den Mother
Middlewife
Half-Mother
I love it. Got any other ideas?
- Christy Miller CNM
- Christy Miller is married and has a daughter and son. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. Her work as a registered nurse included 6 years in Africa and the Caribbean doing public health. Another 5 years as a labor and delivery nurse influenced her decision to become a Certified Nurse Midwife . Her Master in Nursing degree and Certified Nurse Midwife board certification (1996) is from the University of Michigan. Christy is committed to education and gentle, respectful care that allows women to take responsibility for their own lifestyle choices.
