Mountain Midwifery Mamas - A Pre&Postpartum Social Group and Birthcenter Advocates - For clients of Mountain Midwifery Center, Mountain Midwifery Mamas is a group where clients can meet other mamas who share the common birthcenter experience. They plan playdates, informative presentations, mom's-night-out dates around town and participate in activism for birthcenters. It's a great place to network and meet like-minded women! If you have had your prenatal care and/or birth at the birth center and would like to join the group, please email TheMidwifesGarden@gmail.com to receive an invitation to the Ning group.
