Our sweet Tiffany has hung up her stethoscope 🩺 so she can make time for her home, family, and plethora of books 📚. We are forever grateful for her friendship and all the ways she taught us to be the best kind of midwives.
We aren’t saying goodbye, cause we are the kind of friends who stay all through life’s stages. But we will definitely miss her therapeutic presence in the birth space. Love you, Tiff!

After four years of being a midwife student, three years of studying and countless hours of supporting mamas and babies, Emily W passed her midwifery exam (our equivalent of boards)! She is now a Certified Professional Midwife. She has become an integral part of our team. Her empathy, wisdom and quick thinking have made us all better midwives! Please congratulate her. Aaaaand all of this happened on Tiffany’s midwife-versary, her preceptor.

So interesting! No clinical trials have shown an improvement in birth outcomes from continuous fetal monitoring.

An excellent article today from . Note the lack of evidence supporting the use of continuous fetal monitoring, the clear influence of business and economics, and the money grab from AI companies who claim studies support their product - when in fact they don’t - resulting in remote monitoring hubs.

I especially love that placenta accreta is described early in the article so the public can see that cesareans carry risk. As a result, we need to ensure that they occur only when needed or wanted.

Note that the photo for this article is of a remote monitoring hub. One such hub is up to 60 miles away from the hospital in which the woman is laboring.

“Nearly every woman who gives birth in an American hospital is strapped with a belt of sensors to track the baby’s heartbeat. If the pattern is deemed abnormal — too slow, for example — doctors often call for an emergency C-section.

But this round-the-clock monitoring, the most common obstetric procedure in the country, rarely helps baby or mother. Decades of research have shown that the tool does not reliably predict fetal distress. In fact, experts say, it leads to many unnecessary surgeries as doctors overreact to its ever-changing readouts.

The obstetrics field has long ignored these problems. Now, it’s putting more trust than ever on the flawed technology, often prioritizing business and legal concerns ahead of what’s best for patients, The New York Times found.

This fall, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists updated its guidelines on continuous monitoring, sanctioning it even as some other wealthy countries have cautioned against its routine use…

All three remote hubs, along with 400 other hospitals around the country, use A.I. software to help analyze the heart data. The software’s maker, PeriGen, has claimed on its website that 50 studies backed up its products.

But none of the studies found that the technology improved birth outcomes. PeriGen removed the list of studies after an inquiry from The Times. The company’s chief executive, Matthew Sappern, acknowledged that no clinical trials had shown benefits.”
