Let's talk about midwifery|Childbirth affects parents, families and whole communities profoundly. During childbirth, experienced midwives offer support to women giving birth. Midwifery stems from the need women giving birth have for supporters who accompany and help them in this unparalleled life event in many ways. Childbirth and the onset of motherhood transform a woman and influence her life very deeply but it also has a great influence on her closest ones. Awareness of the cultural and social value of midwifery is on the rise and the December 2023 entry to the Unesco List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity sheds a new light on it as well. Practice of midwifery unites great knowledge of contemporary scientific findings, know-how, gained by critically weighing traditions of midwifery assistance and experience. Knowledge of our own tradition, the evolution of others and understanding of the past and the present world are conditions for further developments of midwifery beyond the narrow definitions of health profession. So what is modern, progressive midwifery? In its core, it’s about deeply respecting a woman, her body and the processes required for her to carry a fetus, give birth and breastfeed her baby, to give her or him care and attention. This is reflected in the knowledge, skill and attitude towards a woman. A midwife always relates to the expectant mother in a special and personal, individual cooperation while respecting and safeguarding her rights. At Natural Beginnings Society, we named the cycle of public discussions with midwives and an obstetrician Midwifery Café – and formed it as an invitation to consider, discuss and reflect on the topic that concerns all of us: modern-day midwifery. Pregnant women, expecting couples, mothers, fathers, midwives and all who are interested in childbirth can rediscover midwifery at the Midwifery Café. Although the bond between the midwife and the woman giving birth is temporary, the magnificence of childbirth stays lifelongTEXTknjigebooksSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of Slovenia
