90 Year Old Retired Midwife Catches Her Great Grandbaby

Earlier this year, a 90 year old (soon to be great) grandma helped her 32 year old granddaughter when she went into labor following a walk. The woman hadn't been active as a midwife in over 50 years, but it seems that midwifery is kind of like riding a bike... :) Here's the link to the story as reported by the MN Parent Blog. Birth works!! I love this story because it shows that birth while amazing can be something very normal and straightforward. I see so many expectant moms who are so very fearful about birth and have been brainwashed into thinking that birth is something that you are lucky to survive intact. I wish that I could let all of you see some of the wonderful "uneventful" births I've experienced!
