The work your midwife does for you will leave you speechless. Providing them with a thoughtful and useful gift will encourage them to keep doing the same work for others and show them just how much you appreciate their efforts. We compiled a unique list of ways to express your gratitude to them and support their profession!

A Travel Mug or Canteen

Your midwife may work around the clock, depending on your gestation and labor experience. Moreover, you may not be the only expecting mother keeping them up through the night. You can show appreciation for those late nights or early mornings with a customized travel mug or canteen they can fill with their favorite energy-boosting beverage.

A Midwife Supply Bag

Midwives carry a range of necessary supplies to each in-home appointment or labor and delivery. Catering to this job’s specific demands with a custom midwife bag filled with essentials can benefit your midwife and encourage their job performance. Whether they have an existing bag or are in need of one, supporting the work they do with a new bag or supplies will tug on their heartstrings and make all their hard work feel worthwhile.

A Simple Thank-You Card

Everyone has a budget for non-essential expenses, big or small. It’s okay if your gift isn’t lavish or expensive; a simple thank-you card can be just as meaningful. A handwritten sentiment about your experience with your midwife can make their day and express the same amount of gratitude as a tangible gift.

Additionally, your midwife chose their profession, knowing that they would not receive gifts often. Expressing your thanks goes a long way.

A Custom Journal

Some midwives enjoy journaling about their experiences, as it’s an opportunity for great reflection. Gifting your midwife a custom journal can enable them to jot down their thoughts, events, or appointments, and they can carry this item in their supply bag. It’s an extra resource for them to enhance their offerings and improve the quality of their appointments. Not only is this thoughtful, but it’s incredibly useful to their work.

The Gift of Gratitude

The gift of gratitude in the form of an inspiring review can make waves for a midwife. Many soon-to-be parents hand-select their midwives and use reviews as a reference point when it’s time to make a decision. By telling the world how you feel about your midwife and experience, you are expressing gratitude in a way that benefits your midwife and their potential future clients. And it’s free to be honest and kind!

It’s essential to remember that providing your midwife with a gift is not a requirement for a good experience. Consider your family’s means and do what feels right in your heart. For a full roundup of supplies and tools to support your local midwifery services, contact Cascade Health Care today.
