About International Midwives Day
International Midwives Day was created in 1991 by the International Confederation of Midwives and is currently observed in over 50 countries around the world.
80% of those alive in the world today were born with the help of a midwife. In the United States, midwives attend approximately 10% of births in hospitals, birth centers, and in homes.
Pregnancy and childbirth have an enormous impact on the health of women, newborns, and families, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socio-economically. The goal of the midwifery model of care is to support women and their families in the process of birthing their babies safely, unhindered and with confidence. Every woman deserves access to the high quality, safe, personalized, attentive, affordable, and respectful care of a midwife.
