An inspiring collection of birth stories by a charming midwife. Each time she knelt to "catch" another wriggling baby--nearly three thousand times during her remarkable career--California midwife Peggy Vincent paid homage to the moment when pain bows to joy and the world makes way for one more. With every birth, she encounters another woman-turned-goddess: Catherine rides out her labor in a car careening down a mountain road. Sofia spends hers trying to keep her hyper doctor-father from burning down the house. Susannah gives birth so quietly that neither husband nor midwife notice until there's a baby in the room. More than a collection of birth stories, however, Baby Catcher is a provocative account of the difficulties that midwives face in the United States. With vivid portraits of courage, perseverance, and love, this is an impassioned call to rethink technological hospital births in favor of more individualized and profound experiences in which mothers and fathers take center stage in the timeless drama of birth.Binding Type: Paperback

Runs big
Really thick and hot. It also just was very big and boxy. Definitely order a size down if you plan on buying it

Comfortable and stylish
This has been wonderful. My son is a game show host and has to wear a blazer to work on game days. He throws this in the back of his car when he’s done and it’s went through a lot and still holds its shape. The colors look great and it’s comfortable. He says it doesn’t feel heavy on and is easy to take care of.

What a great fun purchase!
How fun this jacket was!! Fit true to size. (XL pictured). Made well. Sequins help up well-they didn’t fall off. Bright color. Nice covered buttons with extras! Would definitely buy again. Got tons of compliments at event we attended. Paired great with dress shirt, bow tie, black jeans and gold light up shoes we also found on Amazon. Price point was great compared to others. Husband wears XL and this was very comfortable when sitting and also when buttoned standing up.
