I like the WordPress blog format because it lets me know what people searched for (Google or other search engines) that got me to my blog.
Sometimes it’s key words to an article or post I’ve shared. Sometimes it’s a strange string of words and I can’t figure out how he or she landed here.
Once phrase I get a lot is “Louisville Birth Center”
Louisville currently has no birth center. Nothing remotely even close. We have no practicing Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) and our home birth midwives aren’t really acknowledged by the ‘powers that be.’ We have big hospitals with high intervention and cesarean rates.
There have been plans for a free-standing birth center in town in the past, and I believe there are talks, dreams, and plans in progress, but I haven’t heard an update in a year or so. (things like this take time)
If you’re interested in actively helping this process, shoot me a comment and I can try to put you in touch with those who are working to give Louisville mothers a place to birth.
