Midwives play a crucial role in reproductive care, offering a holistic approach that prioritizes the health and autonomy of birthing people. They provide personalized care, addressing physical, emotional, and social needs, and are especially vital in rural and underserved areas, improving access to services and reducing health disparities.

Midwifery care lowers the risk of complications, reduces unnecessary interventions, and leads to better outcomes. When midwives collaborate with other healthcare providers, it ensures comprehensive care. However, removing midwife hospital privileges limits this collaboration, reducing access and  increasing risk for unnecessary medical interventions and other perinatal disparities.

Midwifery care is essential to improving health outcomes and strengthening our healthcare system. Removing hospital privileges undermines these benefits, making midwifery an essential part of Alberta’s healthcare system.

Please take a moment to click the ‼️LinkTree In Bio‼️ and add your voice. Let’s keep midwives in our hospitals and support the care they provide.



[ID: Image features a blurred black and grey background of a towel and baby feet, with text that says:

"Edmonton midwives are disheartened to share that the in-hospital midwifery program at the Royal Alexandra Hospital has been discontinued, raising serious concerns about the sustainability and future of midwifery care in Edmonton and surrounding rural communities.

If you believe that growth and sustainability of midwifery care in Alberta is important, we would love your support. The Alberta Association of Midwives has several advocacy campaigns running, and we would appreciate you engaging with and sharing the MLA campaigns discussed in the full Call to Action here. Thank you for your support."

At the bottom, there is a call to action: "PLEASE SHARE & WRITE YOUR MLA."

Many folks have seen the 2 recent videos of pregnant Black mothers experiencing medical racism while trying to access care, but these unjust realities are not new.

White birthworkers - whether you're a doula, childbirth educator, nurse, OB or midwife - it’s OUR responsibility to take initiative in our own learning, to seek out resources, and engage in anti-racist education/action. This is a look in the mirror moment, and honestly it shouldn't take witnessing it to care, speakup and do the work. It is not the Black community's job to educate or make space for us. We must do better.



[ID: 5 images with white text and a black background, that say:

Black mothers and birthing folks are the foundation of birthwork. Their autonomy and power is essential.

We must listen to and amplify the voices of Black mothers and birthing people in ALL spaces.

No one should ever be denied care of treated inhumanely because of their race.

Every Black mother and birthing person should be treated with dignity and respect. ]

Reproductive experiences cannot be placed in simple boxes - they are as diverse as the people going through them. For nonbinary and gender-diverse individuals, these experiences often come with their own set of unique challenges, but also with strength, resilience and beauty.

The truth is, every person’s journey through pregnancy, birth and postpartum is deeply personal and different. No two experiences are the same. The care and support people need should reflect that diversity. It's not just about making space for different identities; it's about making sure that care feels like it was made for you - without assumptions or expectations about what your experience "should" look like.

As a nonbinary birthworker, I see you. While there are certainly challenges, let’s not forget the power and beauty. There is incredible opportunity to reclaim space, feel empowered in our bodies and connect with our truth in ways that are deeply affirming. You are resilient. You are capable. Your journey is a testament to your strength and you have everything within you to thrive through it.



[ID: The image has a green background with the following text stacked:

"Every Body" in yellow
"Every Pregnancy" in white
"Every Birth" in purple
"Every Postpartum" in black

There's also a small heart icon in the top left with yellow, white, purple and black colors.]

There is a culture shift that needs to change, and I know it is Canada wide, as well as North America wide and worldwide.

Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= consent to cohorse.
Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= consent for medical assistance such as cervical checks, application of the heart monitors, or medical procedures. This includes episiotomies, having the medical professionals fingers in or around your babies head to "help" with delivery or applying an international fetal monitor
Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= consent to the hospital staff over seeing procedures vs. your midwife offering medical support such as catheter application
Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= that because you agreed once before (to be touched, assisted, or multimanaged) that the staff can do this again. Consent must be obtained consistently.
