This eBook serves as a prequel to Seattle Pioneer Midwife. It’s based on the early years of my great-grandmother Alice Ada Wood and her family in Wisconsin during the 1880s-1890s. Written from Alice’s perspective as a young girl, the book delves into her experiences and journey into the world of midwifery, including her fears, accomplishments, and traumatic events. As a Birthing Researcher, I was privileged to hear countless women share their birthing stories. Thus, I was able to learn from birthing experts in the field, including grand multiparous women. During births I gathered great advice from nurses, physcians, and mothers. I did spend time as a midwife apprentice 2017 – 2018, where I was fortunate to be mentored by experienced midwives who generously shared their valuable tips and insights with me. Therefore, I was able to assist many women in achieving normal physiological births, allowing them to respond to their bodies just as women have done for thousands of years.
