E + E Podcast Episode 18: Amber Latsch, CNM On Why You Might Want A Midwife

LISTEN TO EPISODE 18

Knowledge is power, and feeling unprepared for labor or not knowing what’s going to be happening going into it leads to so much fear, and that fear and pain are so tightly linked.
— Amber Latsch, CNM

ABOUT THE EPISODE

It’s Amy here, and I’m so excited to sit down in person with Amber Latsch, who is a member of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board. Amber works right here in Madison, Wisconsin and we got to know her as a part of the midwife team for one of our employees, Lacey. 

In this episode, Amber shares how she got interested in becoming a midwife, and what the process to become one looked like for her. She talks about who would be a good candidate for midwife services, things women can do in pregnancy to set themselves up to be successful, and a whole lot more. 

I know that I learned so much from Amber during this conversation, and that you will too. If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it into your Instagram Stories and tag us, @expectingandempowered. As Amber says, knowledge is power, and we just really want to give more people the information that they may need on their childbirth journey!
