Find a CAM Midwife

mid.wife (mid’ w ` i f ) From Middle English

mid=with + wif=woman; a woman who assists other women in childbirth

* Midwifery is the art of safeguarding the natural process of pregnancy, labor and birth.
* Midwives support the pregnant woman’s right to give birth in the setting of her choice that is personalized and positive
* Every woman has the right to proper prenatal care, including participation in the planning, carrying our and evaluation of such care
* Since well over 90 percent of all births are normal, midwifery seeks to avoid the application of any unnecessary medical technology and intervention.

In the October of 2004 CAM, by consensus of the entire voting membership, adopted the MANA Standards and Qualifications for the Art and Practice of Midwifery.
