A Midwife Nation

STATE RESOURCES

Across the nation, there are some amazing organizations, causes and businesses or families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. One of the steps to improving the maternity care and birth outcomes in the United States is to improve the transparency and recognition of the midwives, birth workers, resources, organizations and services in each state or community.

This is a place to change be transparent about every resource.
