<p>Midwifery is a practice that dates back centuries. For millennia, women relied on midwives to attend them before, during, and after childbirth. With the evolution of medicine over the years, the use of midwives has waned in developed nations, whereas many low and middle-income countries still rely on them. However, over the last few decades, there has been an increase in the use of midwives in countries like the US. In today’s episode, we will explore the world of midwifery and its impact on women's health domestically and beyond.</p><p>I’m joined today by Dr. Jennifer Stevens, the Co-founder of Goodbirth.net, Attending Faculty Midwife at Boston Medical Center, WHO Consultant, and so much more. Dr. Stevens is a public health professional who focuses on women's health care in low-resource areas, safe, respectful care, a human rights-based approach, and quality midwifery care. She believes in the value of women’s voices in enabling a rights-based approach to health care and using a participatory action approach in research and implementation.</p>

<p>The month of March is also known as Women’s History Month. As we take this month to reflect on the advances women have made, what they have achieved, and all of the amazing things women can do, it’s fitting then that today’s episode will also focus on the power of a woman’s body. Specifically, Breastfeeding and all the wonderful ways it can impact an infant’s health.</p><p>I’m joined today by Emily-Swisher Rose, the Co-director and Co-founder of the Breastfeeding Medicine Equity Center at Boston Medical Center. The Breastfeeding Medicine Equity Center, also known as BEC, has provided evidence-based outpatient and inpatient lactation support and breastfeeding medicine to all BMC patients. Founded in December 2021, the clinic cares for lactating patients and their infants with complex breastfeeding problems requiring medical management.</p><p>Emily is a midwife, women’s health nurse practitioner, and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. She’s passionate about working with women and families from all backgrounds and is especially interested in immigrant healthcare, Breastfeeding Medicine, and is deeply committed to bringing language and racial equity to the forefront of her work. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, the mother to four boys can connect with so many. When she’s not working to change women and children's lives, she enjoys playing the violin, singing in a choir, spending time with her three dogs and many chickens, and harvesting the large garden tended by her husband—who grew up on a farm in Brazil.</p><p>For more information about the Breastfeeding Medicine Equity Center, check out this link:</p><ul><li>https://www.bmc.org/breastfeeding-equity-center </li></ul><p><br></p><p>This podcast is supported by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) grant 6-T76MC00017‐26‐01.
