Why Midwifery Licensing Can't Fix Stupid - Midwives Gone Wild Episode 2
In this episode we go "wild" about midwifery licensing and the implications it has on the practice of midwifery. We talk about the pressure to conform to licensing requirements and how that affects the autonomy of midwives and birthing families.
We highlight the lack of critical thinking and creativity in midwifery education and the need for a more holistic approach. This discussion started in response to recent events involving a licensed midwife who missed a uterine rupture during a home birth, resulting in the death of the mother and baby.
In this episode, we talk about the need for building stronger communities and networks in midwifery rather than relying on more rules and regulations.
Midwifery is a complex and challenging profession with a lot of issues to consider including insecurity, ego, and the lack of unity among midwives.
Finally, we talk about the limitations of licensing for ensuring safety and preventing negative outcomes.
Midwives need critical thinking skills, embodied knowledge, strong boundaries, individual responsibility and a focus on values such as autonomy, sustainability, and well-being.
