Midwives

It was the activist in Suzy Myers that first attracted her to the field of midwifery, and as she's helped bring nearly 2,000 babies into this world, that activist has remained vigilant.

My pregnant belly had been experiencing a lot of activity for more than a week, each time teasing me into thinking the baby was coming.

I imagined a male midwife as a middle-aged hippie with a greasy ponytail, but Cyrille turned out to be a clean-cut man of about 35, who carried a Palm Pilot and rode a motorcycle.
