Bias: Only doctors can help women birth Breaking the bias by letting Professional Midwives - my trusted colleagues - help women birth naturally. Midwives provide respectful, equitable, evidence-based care to low-risk mothers and I dedicate my expertise to high-risk pregnancies.

My midwife keeps me in charge and helps me birth the way I want. #BreakTheBias #IWD2022 #InternationalWomensDay2022
