Providing insights into midwifery, a team of reputable contributors
describe the development of nurse- and direct-entry midwifery in
the United States, including the creation of two new direct-entry
certifications, the Certified Midwife and the Certified
Professional Midwife, and examine the history, purposes,
complexities, and the political strife that has characterized the
evolution of midwifery in America.
Including detailed case studies, the book looks at the efforts of
direct-entry midwives to achieve legalization and licensure in
seven states: New York, Florida, Michigan, Iowa, Virginia,
Colorado, and Massachusetts with varying degrees of success. It
studies core issues which produce problems in mainstreaming
midwives, including the tensions between the social activist
midwifery movement and midwives' professionalization projects,
"renegade" midwives who practice outside of state protocols, and
home-to-hospital transport.
The conclusion describes the barriers to the growth and prospering
of American midwifery and efforts to overcome them, focusing deeply
on "why midwives matter" to American birthgiving women and why
midwives should be the primary caregivers in this country for
pregnancy and birth. Mainstreaming Midwives is essential reading
for every midwife and midwifery supporter, and for social
scientists seeking to understand how marginalized professionals
work to move into the mainstream.
