Post by Talk Pregnancy With Dr Noella (TPWDN)

Midwives don’t just deliver babies, they deliver hope, safety, and a future for countless families. On International Midwives Day (May 5th, 2026), we take a moment to recognize the quiet strength and resilience of midwives who show up every day, often in the most challenging settings, to ensure that no woman walks the journey of pregnancy and childbirth alone. 💙 Theme 2026: “One Million More Midwives” Because behind every safe birth is a skilled, supported midwife. At Talk Pregnancy with Dr Noella (TPWDN), we see firsthand how access to skilled care before, during, and after pregnancy can transform outcomes. Strengthening the midwifery workforce is one of the most powerful steps we can take toward reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths. This is a call to action: ✔ Invest in midwifery education ✔ Support and protect midwives ✔ Expand access to quality maternal care To every midwife your impact goes far beyond the delivery room. You are saving lives, shaping communities, and building healthier generations. 📩 [email protected] #InternationalMidwivesDay #OneMillionMoreMidwives #MaternalHealth #GlobalHealth #MidwivesMatter #SafeMotherhood #TPWDN
