We're Maryn + Margo

We are mamas and birth workers who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are kind, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit. With 12 children and 20 years of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.

The SOVEREIGN BIRTH BLUEPRINT

Margo and I chat together on this one after a recent run of first births in our own work. We also compiled some fun stats, looking at the many first births we’ve attended over the years and the percentages of long, fast, etc. We hope you enjoy the close look into the midwife’s perspective on attending first births; we love them, are at times challenged by them, and overall, continue to learn a lot about the variations and process with these stories.
