A “Midwifery Is My Jam” tote bag for midwives, mother baby nurses and the rest of the couplet care team. It's big enough for a change of clothes, lunch and a water bottle on a long shift.
Why this one lands
-
Says midwifery, not nursing. The distinction midwives notice immediately
-
Sized for a twelve-hour shift. Change of clothes, lunch, water bottle, second pair of shoes
-
Three styles. A light cotton tote (15″ x 15″), a larger gusseted tote (18″ x 15″) or a premium tote with black handles and base (17″ x 14″ x 6″).
-
Reinforced handles. The failure point on cheap totes
-
No clothing size to guess. An easy unit-wide gift

Who this is for
Midwives (CNM, CPM, and student midwives), mother baby and postpartum nurses, couplet care teams, and doulas. Bought by families as a thank-you, by colleagues, and by units ordering matching gear. For more ideas, see our gift guide for midwives and doulas.

Getting the role right
Midwives and L&D nurses do different jobs, and a midwife given a nurse-labeled gift will notice. If you are not certain of the title, ask, or choose a design that says maternity care rather than either one.
When to buy
International Day of the Midwife on May 5 falls in the same week as Nurses Week, making early May the busiest point. Family thank-you gifts arrive year-round.
