When I talk to other midwives, I hear a theme of what kind of births they would like to participate in. The list below is what I have compiled based on what they have said. Some of these I have done and some I am hoping to still do. Living in the DFW area, I don’t think I will do a boat birth any time soon.
What about you? Are you interested in having one of these birth experiences? If so, contact me for more information.
Mercy Eizenga LM, CPM is the head midwife and owner of Comforts of Home Midwifery. Mercy was first exposed to homebirth when she witnessed the birth of her little brother at the age of 7. Her interest in natural childbirth grew with the birth of her first child and then attending Bradley Natural Childbirth classes with a friend a year and a half later. Attending her first birth as a doula verified that she was called to be a midwife. Mercy attended the Association of Texas Midwives Training Program and completed an apprenticeship with what is now the Corpus Christi Birth Center. She holds a Texas state license, is listed with the state of Oklahoma, and holds her Certified Professional Midwife with the North American Registry of Midwives.
