Welcome!


WHERE SCIENCE AND HEARTS UNITE
Kansas Midwives are as diverse as the populations we serve. We are a set of richly talented, caring professionals dedicated to delivering specialized, expert maternity care, pre-conception counseling, well-woman care and more. We attend families in the hospital, in birth centers, and in the home. Kansas Midwives provide evidence-based care focused on supporting families to maintain healthy pregnancies and experience optimal birth outcomes.

One of our hallmarks is individualized care. Every person, every birth and postpartum period is unique. We respect personal preferences and cultural values, thus we individualize all aspects of care, including education, counseling, and support to each family.   

Membership in the KMA is open to midwives, midwifery students, consumers, and other birth professionals who subscribe to the objectives of this organization.  Please see our membership page for more information. The KMA holds a General Meeting every year. We offer continuing education and Peer Review. We welcome consumers, students, and of course, all midwives. Consider joining us for our next meeting in May 2023.

Please bear in mind that the choice of a midwife is a serious one. It is the responsibility of the reader of this website to consider any provider only after careful and personal consideration. Always ask after a care provider's training and experience. If a midwife is not known by the midwives in her community it is wise to ask why. The accuracy of the information provided to the KMA is the responsibility of each member midwife and information supplied on this website does not constitute or imply an endorsement of a service or care provider. Find a Kansas midwife by clicking here. 
​Upcoming Meetings

Friday, May 5, 2023

Watch our Events page for more information!

Covid-19 Information
Please reference the CDC website for updated Covid guidelines and recommendations during pregnancy.

One aspect of life that carries on is that babies are still being born! Midwives in Kansas are prepared to alleviate hospital strain by helping more families birth at home and in birth centers. Please see our Find a Midwife page to contact a midwife near you.

ACOG has recommended that midwives meeting ICM guidelines (including CPMs with their bridge certificate) and other obstetric care providers be more integrated and better utilized for expecting families during the pandemic. ​You can read their statement here.
