Alabama Friends of Midwives

AFOM was organized in support of the midwives in Alabama, who offer a traditional, safe, and cost-effective childbirth option for Alabama families.
It is essential that midwives be free to practice openly and without harrassment. It is also essential that the Alabama comunity recognized the benefits offered by midwifery care and the services midwives offer to Alabama families. In fulfillment of these goals, the AFOM are working to:

• Participate in midwifery advocacy on a state and national level
• Disseminate information to the public that will assist women in making fully informed choices from among a freely available range of attendants, methods and settings in childbirth.
• Advocate for high quality maternity care for all women regardless of income, education and ethnicity.
• Foster Communication between midwifery and other health care professions.
• Bring to light the public health benefits of midwifery
• Increase the number of midwives in Alabama
• Inform families regarding their birth options
• Support those who choose midwife assisted births
