Friends of Iowa Midwives is a statewide grassroots organization working to:

Promote access to midwifery and out-of-hospital birth in Iowa
Protect the rights of Iowa women to choose their place of birth & birth attendant
Provide education about childbirth options
Create supportive community for birthing women and families.

Our current legislative campaign aims to license Certified Professional Midwives in Iowa. We are part of the Big Push for Midwives.
