I rolled down my window.
"I love your bumper sticker!" she gushed.
"Oh," I had to think for a moment. What bumper sticker? Oh, right. "Thank you!"
She beamed at me. "I just—I read it, and I thought, Oh, yeah! That's so great! I love it!"
"Thank you!" I didn't know what else to say. This woman was almost deliriously happy over the silly pun on my car. Midwives Help People Out. Yes. Yes, they do. But it makes me smile, too.
The light changed, and just a moment too late it occurred to me to ask her if she was a midwife. Maybe she's just a midwife fan, like I am.

I'm 20 wks pregnant with my second son and my first was born at home with three amazing midwives. This time around I am seeing a naturopathic Dr. who just happens to be male....he follows a midwife model of care and considers himself a midwife. I've quite enjoyed seeing him and he has caught over 600 (!) babies so I have no doubts of his skill...but there is just something about the female energy of my old midwives that I miss. :(
So cool! If I remember correctly, you posted about your cool sticker not too long ago!
A midwife changed my life and I your bumper sticker would be a nice reminder of that!
Yay midwives! My birth experience ended up being far from natural by medical necessity but the team of midwives saved me. Very cool bumper sticker :)
Go midwives! I had such a wonderful experience with my midwife. Yay, birth choices! Awesome bumper sticker.
