Gift for midwife.

I posted this on PgAL Also but wanted to get a good feel for ideas from people. My midwife has been a constant
source of support and help for me throughout this pregnancy. She was the midwife who was on call for the birth of my noah last year and was devastated when we lost him, she stayed in contact with us after the funeral and i feel a weird need to have her stay in my life as she was the first one to hold my baby when i never got a chanve to until he was gone and tried her absolute hardest to rescusitate him even though he simply was to poorly to survive. She will be there for my c section in 8 weeks time and i wanted to get a feel for others ideas on wether me getting her a gift would be weird or not? I was thinking a bracelet or something woth both my boys names on it? But as i said i dont know if this would be over stepping some sort of boundary i just want to show her how grateful i am for her support. Thankyou in advance ladies :)

    You are an incredibly strong person. I can't imagine what you went through.. I think that sounds like a beautiful way to show your appreciation. I dont think it's over stepping at all.

    I think that sounds like a wonderful idea! :) Some small token would really make her feel appreciated, and that's so nice for someone who's been there with you for your highs and lows.

    Sounds sweet, but I wouldn't get a bracelet or anything else she would wear. Jewelry is a bit personal IMO, especially personalized with one patient's babies' names. Maybe something with a symbol of your sons instead of names - like footprints? I guess that would work for jewelry, actually.

    I think it's a wonderful gesture to get her something and also I wish you all the best with this baby. I agree with mangomimosa that jewelry with your babies names on it is a little too personal, I don't think she'd feel comfortable wearing that.

    I'd do a personalized keepsake like maybe a jewelry box, picture frame or something like that has thank you from you and your sons names. Things Remembered has a lot of great stuff that could fit the bill with nice engraving/message options.

    My mom is a midwife, and she's gotten some beautiful gifts over the years. Her favorites are always things that represent women and babies, or birth itself. She has some beautiful pottery in her home that reflects this theme. None of it has the names of specific children on it. She does have a wall of photos in her office of some of the babies she's delivered, and she can tell you who each one of them is.

    If you want jewelry, etsy has some very nice tree of life pendants. I'm thinking about getting one for my doula.

    I'd probably stay away from things that have names or too much personalization on them, though. At least, if you want her to actually use it in any practical application. Unless it's a photo frame or something.

    Alex and Ani has some bracelets that have lovely meanings. Maybe you could look for one that says the right things. I think its a lovely gesture
