Top 12 Posts of 2012

Welcome to many new readers! I am so excited to be guest blogging with ACNM, and to have readership with people who also follow the ACNM's works.I began blogging in the summer of 2012 with the hope of having a space to process my own learning, my entry to the profession of midwifery, and my understanding and growth within feminism. (I had a lot more time for longer blog posts when I was finishing employment paperwork and credentialing!) What I have found is the engagement of others looking to do the same.
