Because we respect the wisdom of nature, honor the essential mystery of birth, and value the abiding traditions of midwifery
We vow to preserve the intrinsic wellness of pregnancy and childbirth and will strive to ensure the safety of client and child.
We pledge to recognize, honor and care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the childbearing experience. We pledge to honor the profession of midwifery by practicing with honesty, respect, humility, justice, and sound ethical action. |
We promise to serve without prejudice against their age, race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, physical abilities, or socioeconomic background.
We promise to champion each person's right to shape their unique birthing experience. We vow to remain devoted to our growth as midwives through constant expansion and enrichment of our knowledge and experience of pregnancy and birth through humble reflection with our peers. We promise to always recognize the limits of our knowledge and experience and ask for help when exceeded. We vow to be a teacher to future generations of midwives and parents. We promise to love and protect the art of midwifery as we would a growing baby. We make this oath before the universe, our community, and in our heart. |
