Ellen, for those who are unfamiliar, what is the scope of care for midwives?
36:53
The scope of care for midwives is prenatally.
36:56
So as soon as you realize you're pregnant or even some people before they're pregnant, they try to find midwifery cares if they're trying to get pregnant.
37:03
And then it's for the whole entire prenatal period.
37:05
and then during intrapartum, so during the time of your birth, and then for six weeks afterwards.
37:11
Some Indigenous communities choose to take care of their community members beyond the six weeks, but in general, it's for six weeks postpartum.
38:55
So can you tell us a little bit more about what that means for the birthing parent? Yeah, pop that to Ellen.
39:01
Yeah, yeah.
