Most midwives at that time, back when Origins first started, were saying once you hit 36 or 37 weeks, no refund, because it's difficult at that point to replace on your calendar a due date that you've already been on call for and done work for. So they had theirs on the earlier side of 34 weeks.

I think it may have originated from, A, we're trying to keep people happy and so we don't want to do a lot of transfers. B, we're so busy that we need to use students to care for clients when licensed midwives aren't around. Students haven't yet seen a whole wide range of when you need to transfer a client out.

And so I think there's a lack of knowledge there as well that led to a lot of the not transferring until it was a shit show.

Yes. Back when all of this first started being an issue, there were discussions within the community of what is a graduate midwife? Like, what qualifies as that? This is not a term that's used by NARM. This is not a term that's used by the state of Texas with licensed midwives. But it overall is a large problem. I think it goes back to we don't have a standard for every CPM, LM.

Even if we did have a defined, here's what a graduate midwife is, or they've met all their numbers and completed everything. They're just waiting on their paperwork to be processed.

You could have me in the office with you as a student where I haven't done any didactic work, I've just learned by situations that came into the office over the last three years.
