Building a Birth Movement: Kimberly Taylor’s Story of Growth and Advocacy
EPISODE 7: Fighting for Birth Options in Alabama — with Kimberly Taylor
In this episode, I sat down with my friend Kimberly Taylor—certified nurse midwife, certified professional midwife, licensed midwife, and mama of four, to talk about what it’s really like to fight for respectful, safe birth options in Alabama.
Kim shared:
How it felt to go from a supportive midwifery culture in Washington to swimming upstream in Alabama
The pushback, licensing challenges, and outright attempts to shut her down
How one supportive OB helped open doors in a hostile system
The realities of hospital vs. home birth and why informed consent matters
Why she refuses to water down care, even when it would be easier
This is an honest look at the uphill work of building bridges, protecting choice, and staying grounded when the system feels stacked against you.
