Madeline Murray is a homebirth baby, homebirth-turned-hospital-transfer mom, and midwife on a mission to make more mid-wives and bring the Midwives Model of Care to more American families. Madeline’s passion project, Believe in Midwifery, is de-signed to raise awareness among midwives and mothers about the perils of the on-call lifestyle and the changes in practice necessary to make midwifery careers more attainable for students and more sustainable for practicing midwives.
