International Day of the Midwife

April 3rd, 2008 by Jen the Mom

As you all know, I am using a midwife with this birth so I am obviously supportive of the midwifery cause here in Alberta so none of you should be surprised by this post.

There will be a rally at the McDougall Centre in downtown Calgary on May 5 from noon until 1:00. Anyone who may be in the Calgary area, or who would want to take grass roots to a traditional level and walk barefoot for miles to get there, please lend your support and come with signs, noise makers and lawn chairs.

I’ll be showing pictures of the event afterward so that anyone that can’t make it can atleast see what we did that day and hopefully it will spur the Alberta government to fund midwifery and open up the flood gates to women who have been waiting years to have the birth they want.

    Fabulous! We’ve used a midwife for 2/3 births. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Hey Jen,

    Glad your supporting the midwifery! Doubt I’ll be able to make it, as I’ll be working, so rally enough for the both of us! Heh.

    Apparently your and Chuck’s emails are non-existent or don’t want to receive emails from me. So! I just need your address to mail you your things.

    Thanks!
