Midwife gift

[wildflower810]

I need y'all's help brainstorming! I want to do something nice for my midwife. This gal is one of the most amazing humans I've had the pleasure of knowing in my life. She delivered DS1, and will be delivering DS2 here soon. I didn't get her any special gift with DS1 because I was so overwhelmed by everything. I want to do something special for her this time! 

I'm planning a home birth, so she's done 100% of my prenatal care, will do 100% of my labor/delivery/postpartum care. This is a bit beyond a $5 Starbucks GC type of thing for me. Thing is, I'm usually the worst at coming up with thank you type gifts. 

Suggestions?

I need to think of something too. My midwife is my boss as well. I've already got their favorite snacks for the birth (mixed nuts and dark chocolate covered almonds) and planning a meal for everyone after the birth that we can throw in the oven. I would like to do something else as well.

Something like this? Not sure if everyone wears jewelry. But I think something like this is cute. It comes in blue as well...just a thought.

Totally stalking this thread, I need an idea too! Last time my midwife raved about this kneeling pad I had and she couldn't believe she didn't have one so I got her one as a gift. I signed the back with a note and she loved it. But I need a new idea for this one!

zcookiemonster, tell me more about this kneeling pad...

Oh it's super simple! I had a kneeling pad from Target that I think I even got from the kids section, I don't see the exact one on their site anymore but the one linked is similar. Looks like you can look them up on Amazon under bath or garden stuff. My MW loved it tho bc she said she spent a lot of time hovering on her knees durning births and this made it comfy. So it was a good gift for her!
I also noticed last time when she was measuring me she had the cutest little personal tape measures, they looked like gifts from other ladies, like one had an animal on the end. That'd be a cute gift too, but mine already has 3 lol

Do you know any of her hobbies that you could gift her something relating to them?

Massage gift card? I'm sure some of her births/patients can be stressful so nice way to let her relax.

Or when in doubt Wine!!!

zcookiemonster, I love the idea of a kneeling pad!

@jacks605, a massage GC is fantastic as well.

Not sure on her hobbies or interests beyond birth type stuff... I like the bracelet you posted, flyinghorses6! I know she doesn't wear jewelry for births, but between them that is really pretty. She also has 4 preteen/teenage boys so that's how she keeps busy when she's not delivering babies.
