Picturing Over 35 Years as Tulsa's Midwife
Ruth Cobb has been catching babies at home for more than 35 years.
A lot has changed in 35 years, as evidenced by the hair styles and clothing choices in the homebirth pictures below. But through all the
years and all the styles, Ruth Cobb has nutured a midwifery practice in Tulsa by providing professional, compassionate midwifery services to her
many clients.
In January, 2011, Ruth Cobb caught her 1,900th homebirthed baby. Take a stroll with us down homebirth memory lane...and forgive us in
advance for some of the hair styles.
Homebirth Pictures in Oklahoma - Late 70's
Let's just say that our photographic record keeping, while visually stunning in its ability to
track the changing clothing trends of the past 35 years, was not the most sophisticated system known to man.
We had to break them into categories we loosely associate with approximate decades...but sometimes the pictures made it
into the wrong shoebox...um, highly advanced filing system. So we apologize if your home birth pictures made
it into the wrong decade. Enjoy!
