Midwifery-Led Fertility Care: A Family Centered Approach
Abstract
In Midwifery-Led Fertility Care, midwives Ray Rachlin, LM, CPM and Marea Goodman LM, CPM will educate midwives on how to provide fertility care in an out-of-hospital setting. In this presentation, Ray and Marea will review the different options people with uteruses have to create pregnancies with fresh and frozen sperm and the success rates for each. They will focus on lower-intervention insemination options that can be performed at-home or in a midwife’s office. The presenters will also review fertility awareness method counseling and how midwives can support their clients to determine ovulation, as well as insemination timing and navigating sperm banks, ACOG preconception care, and fertility lab work. Throughout the presentation, Ray and Marea will provide an introduction on how to provide culturally appropriate care to the LGBTQ+ population and transgender parents. They will also discuss how to apply infertility research to LGBTQ+ people, and when to refer to different levels of care. LGBTQ+ people face many obstacles to healthcare access including a lack of knowledgeable care providers, other people’s lack of awareness of identity issues, and outright prejudice and discrimination. This leads to both underutilization of healthcare and overmedicalization, and contributes to health disparities and poor outcomes, especially by individuals with intersecting marginalized identities. Midwives are in a unique position to provide excellent, culturally competent care to this population. However, viewers should not expect to become culturally competent in caring for the LGBTQ+ population in this one hour class. There will be resources for further learning provided at the end of the presentation.

  • “I loved GOLD so much that you’d be happy to scream it from a mountaintop! I had a lot of scheduling and time restraints so I am so thankful for this virtual option. The vast array of speakers, the convenience of watching at my leisure and ability to earn CERPs was a great benefit. I have been able to immediately apply a lot of it in my role of public health lactation support.”
    Millie Goins, WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor
    GOLD Lactation Online Conference Delegate
  • “The GOLD audience is receptive, fun, engaged and excited. I really appreciate the kinds of questions I am asked and how receptive the audience is to the kind of presentation content I provide. Very few conferences want a presenter to do the off the beaten track material I like to present. I will keep coming back as long as GOLD will have me!”
    Alison K. Hazelbaker, PhD, IBCLC, FILCA, CST, RCST
    GOLD Lactation Online Conference Speaker
  • “Having participated as a speaker at the last two GOLD Conferences has been one of the highlights of my career. The GOLD staff is one of a kind. We not only worked hard together but also had a lot of fun doing so. I have made so many friends in such a short time, not only with my GOLD contacts, but also with so many dedicated and wonderful GOLD participants.”
    Dr. Frank J. Nice, RPh, DPA, CPHP
    GOLD Lactation Conference Speaker
  • “I love the flexibility and availability of your conferences, and with my director’s hat on – the cost versus pricey travel, accommodations, etc. and the flexibility for attendance with people’s busy schedules has been awesome. I think it’s a great model and you have perfected the technology to have it run off well.”
    Suzanne H. Campbell, PhD, RN, IBCLC

  • “Getting education out to people who can't manage to travel to distant locations or take time off work, or afford the childcare fees they would incur if they had to attend in person, is so important and the difference these GOLD conferences make is invaluable. I have minimal computer skills but the format for attending makes it so easy for me to enjoy the benefits of the conferences.”
    Elizabeth Common, Midwife / Lactation Consultant
