It was just like you said - it fits the diner analogy! Obviously, we know that moms give birth and the midwife is giving her support. We simply felt we needed to meet women where there at, and a large portion of the population doesn't even know what a midwife is, or what she does. We want to educate the masses about how AWESOME midwives are! This is the beginning of a series of videos that we hope will help to inspire more women to ask the question, "Where's MY Midwife?"
Love it! And one small quibble: mamas deliver, not midwives! Bad enough that doctors claim to deliver babies, and I realize it fits the diner analogy in the video, but when midwives claim to "do" anything other than be "with woman" with their professional skills, it rubs me the wrong way--and disempowers the mother.
great job!!! looking forward to more videos!
