About Midwifery Care
Birth Options - Midwives and Midwifery
The practice of midwifery is based on the understanding that pregnancy, labor and birth are profound experiences which carry significant meaning for a woman, her family and her community. Midwifery is grounded in the belief that having a baby is a natural life process and an opportunity for considerable growth. The intent of midwifery care is to enhance these life experiences.

Birth Options - Midwives and Midwifery

Alberta Association of Midwives

The Alberta Association of Midwives (AAM) was registered as a society in 1982 to represent the professional interests of midwives. Membership includes registered midwives, associate members and student midwives. The AAM evolved out of a recognized need for continuity of care in the maternity cycle, as well as in response to increasing public support of midwifery in Alberta. Since it was formed the AAM has worked with consumers, government agencies and other health care professionals to promote legalization and public funding of midwifery.

Midwifery in Alberta
Birth Options - Midwives and Midwifery

Midwifery was legally recognized in Alberta in 1992. Midwives in Alberta are registered under the Health Disciplines Board by the Midwifery Health Disciplines Committee, which sets the standards and educational requirements.  Until recently in Alberta, families have paid out of pocket for the services of a midwife, but starting April 1, 2009, midwifery was added to the maternity services covered by Alberta Health Services.
