Natural Birth

gift for MW?

Did anyone do this?  I feel like I've developed a really great relationship with my home birth midwife and wanted a way to thank her after LO arrives.  I'm not sure what is/isn't an appropriate gift.  She'll be doing our home visits after the birth so I have a little bit of time to figure out something, just not sure what that is yet.  Ideas?

Re: gift for MW?

  • What are her interests?  Mine is really interested in craniosacral therapy and wants to pursue that full-time after she stops practicing midwifery, so I might think more about getting her something relevant to that.  Or, I may get her a gift card for a massage at the spa where I work and recommend some of the therapists there whose work I think she'd enjoy.

  • I wpuld think about something to make her life easier - restaurant g/c, merry maids, something like that. The on-call lifestyle must be hard!
  • we totally forgot for #1 last yr, so for #2's birth in feb, which different MW in the same practice, i did a personalized card from shutterfly w/a pic of me and her and newborn on it (from a few mins post-birth)... the secretary said she had never taken a pic like that.  i also got her a gift cert for a massage.  she called and said "after the rough week i've had -- that was really nice of you."  :)  i went online looking @ MW jewelry etc, but you just dont know their personal style.

  • I'm thinking of knitting scarfs for my MW's and probably buying them some organic handmade soaps or truffles or something like that. I definitely want to do something!
