Here is an idea.
ABC News reports a list of Tax Deductions You Should Know About, including the fact that:
You can deduct a number of medical expenses as they pertain to the expansion, or even delay, of your family. Deductions include fees paid for childbirth preparation classes, certain fertility enhancement procedures, birth control pills and/or legal operations to prevent having children.
Wonder if Doula services would be permitted, too?
I have finally come full circle to pursuing my education for midwifery.
Trying to decide where to get my education is the hardest part.
I really want thorough and good quality.
There are lots of programs that offer the short and quick route to get your certification.
As much as I want to become a midwife as quickly as possible, I feel like the quality of my education is of utmost importance.
I want a program that gives me in depth knowledge so that I can care for women without having to thumb through a book at every turn.
I have had experiences where I felt like people were just making up answers so that they could save their pride (which I am guilty of as well). I don’t want to have to be in that position.
I certainly don’t have a problem with saying I don’t know, but you don’t want to be saying that all the time; even if it is just being transparent.
I really want to be able to know what I am talking about and provide good care.
So, I have been looking into different academic programs.
They all have to be coupled with an apprenticeship. I am in search of the right midwife to apprentice with, but it takes time.
Here are the the two that I am looking into:
Ancient Art Midwifery Institute
They both take about 3 years to complete the program.
