Sustainability, Midwifery and Birth

Environmental awareness and sustainability are vitally important concepts

in the twenty-first century and, as a low environmental impact health care
profession, midwifery has the potential to stand as a model of excellence.
This innovative volume promotes a sustainable approach to midwifery prac-
tice, philosophy, business administration and resource management. Drawing
on an interdisciplinary body of knowledge, this international collection of
experts explore the challenges, inviting readers to critically reflect on the issues
and consider how they could move to effect changes within their own working
environments. Divided into three parts, the book discusses:
• The politics of midwifery and sustainability
• Midwifery as a sustainable health care practice
• Supporting an ecological approach to parenting.
Sustainability, Midwifery and Birth identifies existing models of sustainable
midwifery practice, such as the continuity of care model, and highlights the
potential for midwifery as a role model for ecologically sound health care pro-
vision. This unique book is a vital read for all midwives and midwifery students
interested in sustainable practice. Contributors include: Sally Baddock, Carol
Bartle, Ruth Deery, Nadine Pilley Edwards, Ina May Gaskin, Megan Gibbons,
Carolyn Hastie, Barbara Katz-Rothman, Mavis Kirkham, Nicky Leap, Ruth
Martis, Zoë Meleo-Erwin, Jenny L. Meyer, Jo Murphy-Lawless, Mary Nolan,

Sally Baddock B.Sc. Dip Tchng, Ph.D. has been involved in the SIDS
(Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) research area for over 10 years. She has a
B.Sc. majoring in physiology and completed her Ph.D. in 2005. She
investigated the physiology and behaviour of infants while bedsharing
compared to cot-sleeping. Findings from this study have been published in
high-ranking international peer-reviewed journals and presented at many
international and national conferences. Sally has also taught physiology at
undergraduate and postgraduate level to students of midwifery and other
health professions for over 20 years. She is currently Associate Head of School
of Midwifery at Otago Polytechnic.
Carol Bartle RN, RM, IBCLC, PGDip. Child Advocacy, MHeal.Sc. heard
E. F. Schumacher speak in England in the early 1970s, thanks to her
inspiring cousin Cynthia Stein. Further exposure, to environmental issues,
was also directly as a result of work by Stein who lobbied for the
development of recycling systems in West Yorkshire. Later in the mid-
1970s, after Carol moved to Christchurch, New Zealand, she worked as a
volunteer at the Environment Centre, learning from another inspirational
person, the late Rod Donald, who became the co-leader of the NZ Green
Party. Carol has developed an enduring interest in optimal and safe infant
feeding and women’s health. Over the years she has worked as a midwife
and breastfeeding advocate and is concerned about the unethical marketing
of substitutes for breastmilk and the growing market push for dairy
development to the detriment of the environment and health.
Pat Brodie is the Immediate Past President of the Australian College
of Midwives and Adjunct Professor of Midwifery at the University of
Technology, Sydney. For more than two decades, she has contributed to
policy change and practice development that has enhanced continuity of

leadership role in major reforms to midwifery education, regulation and
practice throughout Australia.

Health Service (NHS) in England. Since then her main work has been in
the maternity services and women’s health in the new NHS, with particular
interests in organizational change, public policy, emotions and care and

Prologue

Nei rā te mihi kau atu ki kā aroaro mauka o te motu, ki a koutou hoki kā
iwi e noho ana ki tēnā pito, ki tēnā pito taiāwhio i te ao tēnei te mihi a Aoraki
mauka ki a koutou katoa. Nau mai, nau mai, tauti mai rā.
Greetings to all of the lofty peaks of the land, and to all peoples from around
the world, from Aoraki mountain (and those that reside beneath him).
Welcome, welcome, welcome.

To identify oneself as an indigenous Māori woman of Aotearoa me Te

Waipounamu means to locate myself topographically, by the landmarks that
simultaneously represent who I come from and where I come from. My name
is not the defining landmark in the sequence of remembering but that of the
mountains and rivers that physically and spiritually link me to my tupuna/
ancestors. My landscape is named after particular ancestors and therefore
whenever I walk the Papa/Whenua/Earth I also reconnect with those who
came before me.
The earth is named Papatuanuku and is representative of the archetypal
mother and also pa-pa (explosion), atua (from the ages/other dimensions) and
nuku (shift in energy) also related to nukunuku (unconscious), therefore
embedded through esoteric language in the naming of the mother are ideas
around spirituality, motion and a powerful shift in energy or intuition. As a
midwife I have also seen these states represented in the birthing woman
unrestricted and connected to her own mana/prestige/power and awe, who
moves through birth as a powerful state of being to welcome the next genera-
tion into this new world. For Māori there is a welcoming ceremony called
the powhiri where our elder women call on the visiting peoples with a
keening call we know as the kaikaranga – this creates a safe world pathway
between this world and the one of each respective groups ancestors so that
we might greet each other and become one for a specific time and purpose.
I see the midwives’ role in birth as parallel to this idea – she is the link to
creating that space, the safe world pathway for this birthing journey. The
overriding theme is of connection. The link between birth and the whenua/
land on both a terrestrial and a celestial level are continuously reinforced in
 Prologue xv
metaphoric language and stories, in the ways we walk the land and in the
way we name ourselves as descendents of this birthing mama and her arche-
typal mama. Every time whakapapa are recited the links between the different
states/times/dimensions are remembered and we are reminded of our place
within this as a part of something larger and more wondrous than any one
component. One where all dimensions of health must be considered as neces-
sary for health to occur including but not limited to the physical, but also
the spiritual, environmental and mental.
For me as a Māori midwife the link between the whenua/land and birthing
is embodied within the symbolism and language handed down through time.
For example, the word whenua denotes land and also placenta, and Māori return
the whenua back to the localized place they whakapapa to as another way of
recreating the link from one nurturing place to another, this allows us to claim
turangawaewae, a place to stand for the rest of our time and for our future
children.
Many Māori creation traditions use symbols of childbirth, the growth
of trees, thought, energy and the fertile earth to convey the idea of constant,
repeated creation. These symbols convey the idea of a world in a state of per-
petual ‘becoming’. These are statements about the nature of the world, and
their repetition echoes the creation story – the world is ritually ‘recreated’
in them as a series of never-ending beginnings or births. This idea is a key
aspect of the traditional Māori worldview. Creation stories give people a way
of looking at their world. These stories tell us about individuals acting in
particular ways and securing their position in the world. They stand, therefore,
as a model for individual and collective behaviour and aspirations. For Māori
the environment exists on several different levels at once. A mountain can
be the personification of a particular atua, as well as being rock, a resource
to be utilized, and having qualities such as beautiful or cold. This worldview
has a number of connotations for our relationships with each other and the
earth.
The creation of the Universe for Māori also mimics the movement of
Birth from the darkness of all potential where the archetypal parents were
locked in embrace to the movement into te ao marama, a time of light and
understanding and the birth of the new world and ancestors as children. I am
continually reminded of the responsibility to birthing mama as our future
ancestors and in reverence to the ones before then as a continual line of their
whakapapa or genealogy. In this place I too am honored and revered, I too
have whakapapa and this is a reciprocal relationship.
The overriding themes for me in this book sit well therefore beside a Māori
worldview because they examine how our Kaupapa/philosophies shape our
interactions with each other and our papa/our world, our whenua/our
mama/our earth. That the responsibility to be mindful of our connectedness
as more than a rhetoric of holistic care means that we will live our lives in a
way that sustains and enhances our lives and world.
