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.

Here it is…my thoughts and experiences around money and energy in the world of birth. Whether you are a birthing woman, a doula or midwife, I hope you will take what resonates with you and leave the rest. The way “out” of the current confusing conversation around birth/midwifery care happens when we have these conversations.

Take a listen to my internal dialogue about this topic!

    “People pay more for a car than their birth”
    Omg! I literally know a couple in which the husband is saying that’s why they can’t afford a homebirth …the monthly car payment! I get it of course but I also wish people could be introspective enough to realize where they are subconsciously putting their priorities. Its like the whole women-pay-more-for-their-weddings-than-the-birth-of-their-baby issue….our cultural priorities are totally wack.
