homebirth practice
I've had my own practice for about five years
I'd like to practice for awhile longer, but not necessarily 20 years or anything.
Stacia
Ann Arbor, MI
homebirth/fertility counseling/well-woman care/doula
I just took over my practice in January, but had been doing primary work before then
I hope to practice for many years
Charlotte
Northern Louisiana
Home
6 months on my own, two years total
I started young so I could go longer...I want to do this until I can't work anymore (so 40+ years, Lord willing)
sharon
Tucson
homebirth
21 yrs maybe longer can't remember exactly
I took several years very very slow when the kids were young sometimes only 1-2 births per year
as long as I am called and have a way to get there
Graduated from CNM school in 2003, had a baby, worked as a nurse for a bit, then worked in a hospital midwifery practice for one year, and have been with my current practice since January '06. Now on maternity leave with my new babe
Erin
albuquerque
homebirth
in practice for 1 year after grad, moved, now beginning to practice again, have been attending births for 9 years
I imagine I will practice for many years to come.

Another year or two? Until our second child is born
BetsyS, you call yourself a medwife? I'm curious why!
Good grief Becki... there is a birth center in Englewood that NEEDS a CNM because a) it's the law and b) Tracy is positively swamped with 10 per month SOLO. Want some info? Write to me at kris@metromidwifery.com and I'll hook you up if you're interested! She was my DEM preceptor.
Congratulations on the pass! I started finishing prereqs for nursing school this semester (did most of the fluff now doing the science).
