\"BethanyTrust. It\u2019s the cornerstone of the relationship between midwife and mother. In this week\u2019s episode of Call the Midwife,<\/strong> it\u2019s trust in their skills that leads the midwives to transport Ruby to the hospital. It\u2019s what Ruby depends on when she\u2019s tells Sister Julianne she\u2019d be screaming her head off were the sister not there. It\u2019s what\u2019s in her eyes when she asks Sister Julianne to care for her baby while she\u2019s under general anesthesia.<\/p>\n

Trust is what Sister Julianne quickly establishes with another mother by showing when she shows compassion by serving her tea during a long labor. And it\u2019s trust in the birth process and trusting the strength of the mother that ultimately proves a midwife wrong when she says \u201cI don\u2019t see that baby being born without forceps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trust is as paramount to labor and birth today as it was in 1961 when this series is set. Obstetric and midwifery care often had a paternalistic nature then, which meant that doctors and midwives made decisions about what was best for women and their babies. Today we seek to empower women to actively participate in their care by providing them with information. But while information is now available everywhere at the touch of our fingertips, quantity isn\u2019t necessarily better and quality can be lacking depending on the source. After all, everyone on the Internet is an \u201cexpert,\u201d and it\u2019s sometimes hard to sift through all the opinions to find facts. Midwives today can struggle with establishing the kind of relationship with mothers that allows them to trust midwives\u2019 experience and knowledge over these other voices when things don\u2019t go as planned or desired.<\/p>\n

Midwives want to be \u201cwith woman.\u201d It\u2019s at the very heart of what we do and it is also the meaning of the word \u201cmidwife.\u201d We want to be there through unplanned pregnancies, miscarriage, happy births, surgical births, healthy babies and babies who are only here a short while. We want to earn the trust of the families we serve. In a time when nearly one-third of all babies born in the U.S. are delivered by Cesarean section, we seek to trust women\u2019s bodies and trust birth.<\/p>\n
