Nominate a Midwife for National Midwifery Week
Every birth story is unique, but one thing many families share in common is this: the midwife who walked alongside them left a lasting impact. Midwives bring knowledge, skill, compassion, and a steady presence that can make all the difference during one of life’s biggest moments.
This October 5–11, 2025, we are celebrating National Midwifery Week. It is a time to recognize the incredible work midwives do every single day, and we want your help.
Nominate a Midwife Who Made a Difference
Do you have a midwife who played a special role in your birth story? Someone who encouraged you, listened to you, or helped you feel safe and supported during labor and birth? We’d love to hear about them.
Through our Nominate a Midwife project, we’re inviting families to share the names and stories of the midwives who made a meaningful impact. Nominated midwives will be celebrated during National Midwifery Week, and we’ll be highlighting their stories on our platforms.
How It Works
Fill out our nomination form HERE. Share your midwife’s name, any contact info you have, and a little about how they supported you.
We’ll reach out to the nominated midwives and invite them to share their own information.
During National Midwifery Week, we’ll spotlight these incredible care providers and share the difference they’ve made in families’ lives.

Why It Matters
Midwives are remarkable. They provide care that is different from anything else in birth. They listen, guide, and support families with skill and compassion. Their work includes both the medical side of birth and the emotional support that helps families feel informed and cared for.
Much of what midwives do goes unnoticed. Families may leave the birth room grateful, but midwives don’t always hear how much of a difference they made. By sharing your story and nominating a midwife, you help highlight their work and show the value of midwife-led care. You also give other families a chance to see how meaningful midwife support can be for their own birth experiences.
This is your opportunity to say thank you and recognize the care midwives provide every day.
