Manage episode 456363276 series 3511323
In this episode of Military Birth Talk, we're speaking with LCDR Anne Laird, who was active duty in the navy for 12 years and now serves in the reserves as a midwife. Annie shares her extensive experiences both as a military midwife and as a mother of five, who has had pretty much every type of birth you could think of from a hospital birth with an epidural, a home birth to hospital transfer, two more homebirths, and then a hospital induction turned c-section. We also chat about how her military experience has informed her midwifery practice, the unique role that midwifery care plays in the military healthcare system, and the improvements she’d like to see continue over the coming years for birthing families in the military.
