Feminist Midwife Scripts
My midwifery is ever growing and changing, and the language I use and revise is absolutely part of that evolution. The smallest words can have the harshest impact, and providers must challenge themselves to think critically about our scripts, especially with intimate exams. There must (*must*) also be space for patients to ask questions, request modifications, and decline care outright. I’ve so enjoyed the weekly challenge of writing down what I say in my newsletter: it pushes me to listen to words and approach that can feel automatic after years in practice. Would love for you to subscribe and join me in that work! Subscription at any time also gives you access to the archives, so you can read all previous scripts, too!
Here are the free scripts available on this blog for your perusal at any time!
