Abstract
Grace and her husband met in the South Bronx after each of their families had moved from Ecuador, where women commonly birthed with midwives at maternity centers. She had several miscarriages before she went to the CBC, which was recommended by a friend. She then had her two children at the Center, naming her first after her midwife. Her extended kinfolk witnessed her births, including her husband, a new tradition for the family.
