Midwifery Now!

An umbrella group welcoming all midwives. If you are a midwife in Minnesota you are welcome as a member automatically. Focused on homebirth, MNow! formed during the legislative effort to pass our Traditional Midwife Licensing Statute in 1999. Because Tradtional Midwifery licensing is voluntary in Minnesota, MNow! provides a forum for both licensed and unlicensed midwives. Meetings are approximately quarterly throughout the year. Peer Review, education and community activism are regular features of gatherings. Midwifery Now! is listed in the Minnesota Statute as an agency responsible for recommending midwives to the Midwifery Advisory Board under the Minnesota Board of Medical Practitioners.
