Together let's make midwifery the standard of care in the United States, as it is, so successfully, in many other countries. Let's strengthen our ties to midwives around the world. It is wisdom, compassion, love, empowerment and trust. Midwives are non-interventionists. Midwives emphasize good nutrition for their clients, beneficial education and useful information, natural birth and breastfeeding.
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.
