Midwives are the guardians of normal birth. We know that most midwives uphold these values. Midwifery Today is committed to supporting the midwifery model of care and assisting and supporting midwives, whoever they are and wherever they practice. The past several decades of obstetrics has also taught us how to save lives. Midwives can blend the wise and restrained use of technology with good midwifery education and be prepared to meet just about any challenge that may present itself in a woman's pregnancy or birth.
Midwives then tailor their care to the individual's own needs and beliefs.
They take responsibility for educating clients about their choices and for making these choices as available as possible. Just as knowledge is power for midwives, so it is for the birthing woman. Midwifery Today gives practitioners the information, encouragement and inspiration to meet these characteristics, and helps them remain strong and supported in their work. We strive to bring you information and opinions from various belief systems and from related fields. We give you hard facts.
