Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast

465: Q&A with Midwives About the Midwifery Model of Care, Informed Consent and Family-Centered Birth with Sarah McClure and Charli Zarosinski (DIAH Classic)

Listen Later

What does a midwife do? 

Might seem like an obvious answer if you’ve been in the birthing world for a while. But if you’re unfamiliar with different models of care or exploring home birth for the first time, it’s a very legitimate question with answers that could be very significant in your birthing journey.

Today we’re joined by Sarah McClure and Charli Zarosinski, midwives of Hearth and Home Midwifery and hosts of The Homebirth Midwife Podcast. 

We unpacked a lot of really great topics in this conversation including:

  • The different routes to take to become a midwife 
  • Explaining the midwifery model of care to someone new to the concept
  • What’s an average day in the life of a midwife like?
  • What support do midwives and birth workers need?
  • How can clients be best informed and create the best relationship possible with their midwife?
  • How to determine if your area is home birth-friendly
