Cyndi Gross: Compassionate Birthing
Very few things surprise me anymore…
Acceptance of “just the way things are” seems to be the attitude for most who are trying to eliminate stress and conflict in hopes of extending the quality and quantity of their lives.
Having been a labor doula for almost 17 years, I’ve pretty much seen it all. Good and bad. However, I recently traveled on business from California to Arizona to be interviewed about my website www.MyBirthTeam.com and got a huge surprise. Ironically, a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) that I worked with from California, Lisa Sherwood, had to relocate to Phoenix. In September, Lisa was forced to leave her thriving practice due to the closing of her hospital’s maternity unit. No other Orange County hospital or OBGYN practice would give her privileges even though she brought over 1,500 new patients with her. So she commutes back and forth from Orange County to Phoenix to work at Bethany Women’s Healthcare and Phoenix Baptist Hospital. Unfortunately, there are no longer choices for women in South Orange County to have a CNM attend their birth in a hospital setting.
