Maybe @CBSNews needs to have a look at @TheLancet and learn a bit about the need to #StrengthenMidwifery and in particular, decrease the horrifying rates of US #MaternalMortality. #Midwives are #HealthCareProfessionals, not coaches!
Thank you @CBSNews for undervaluing my title "Dear Breedlove" and explaining Midwives are not "just coaches but also a confidante". I did not pay over $60,000 for an education leading to a CNM/PHD to be JUST a coach/confidante. Your team needs to learn about US/Global Midwifery!

Thank you, this is really useful as the next step is to develop tools that help raise awareness and support care in practice. We need people to complete the surveys so we can see how best to target these tools. Please keep sharing the surveys 😊 #EDSmaternity
