I will work towards the empowerment of women through better birth experiences. Each pregnant woman is on a journey, and it is my task to help birth a mother as well as a baby. I support each woman's right to make choices about how and where she births her child, informed by sound medical advice but ultimately choosing her own way.

Proof of life

In the space
where they say
a heart will grow

a tiny light flicks on
off-on-off-on
faster than
hummingbird
wings.

It’s been only me
in this skin
for so long.

Now suddenly,
strange alchemy.

I am just learning
to share.

(Written on January 20, after our first ultrasound.)
