Yeah certified midwifes go through most all fo the same training as the nurses in Maternity. They probably change some of the study to skip over hospital based stuff but also pick up more study in dealing with unexpected

Not sure that applies to newage-y church based midwifery, that's gotta be more like PUSH OUT THAT DEVIL BABY AND KEEP YOUR COOTER COVERED MARY LOU. YOU WILL DEAL WITH THE PAIN, YOU HARLOT

She didn't train to be a midwife, though, she trained to be a doula. I doubt her parents would let her do the things necessary to be an actual midwife (such as take actual classes at an actual school with people not related to her.)

The Team Fortress thread and this one were next to each other in my bookmarks section, and it made me imagine a Duggar version of Team Fortress.
If I knew how to do 3D poo poo and had basic drawing skills I'd definitely render that poo poo in Source.

If there's even a hint of something worth talking about TMZ and every Gawker subsite will pick it up anyway.

I read a copy during work. All it says is that the family promised a while ago that they wouldn't squeal, and that the community shamed the girl and blamed her for developing early, so she rebelled and left the church, and that she has a new car that was probably a bribe from the almighty J*m B*b, but she's traumatized and still might tell. Also the town is turning against the great patriarch, and a possible tell all book is in the works.

It also mentioned the midwife one of the girls trained under, and how she hosed up some births, and how that means the girl may not be prepared to be a midwife.

On average, 13 is (or used to be) the age at which most girls begin menstruating. As soon as they do that, they can start popping out babies.

Gotta start 'em early to maximize their viable breeding years.

Isn't the average about 10 these days?

True fact: Fayetteville, Arkansas, was named after Fayetteville, Tennessee, where a bunch of the settlers had come from. In turn, Fayetteville, Tennessee, was named after Fayetteville, North Carolina, where a bunch of the settlers had come from. They're like two towns removed from anything resembling a creative thought. (The one in North Carolina was named after Lafayette, like most things in the US with "Fayette" in their names.)

My dad started a restaurant in Memphis called Lafayette, I'm pretty sure the name inspiration is the same.
