If you can about access to midwifery care PLEASE READ and ACT.
MUCH LOVE and APPRECIATION,
Your CCBC Team

As a consumer and supporters of midwifery care, your voice is powerful. Your personal experiences matter, and they can help bring awareness and change throughout our state. As many of you know, Texas Licensed Midwives are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Recently, many in the midwifery community have become deeply concerned that TDLR’s actions and approach do not reflect support for either midwives or families seeking midwifery care.
Rather than recognizing Licensed Midwives as competent healthcare providers who help meet critical maternal healthcare needs — especially in Texas’ growing maternity care deserts — there appears to be an increasing effort to portray midwifery as unsafe or problematic.
We need our legislators, state officials, and TDLR to hear directly from the families who have experienced the value, safety, and blessing of midwifery care firsthand.
How Can You Help?
1. Write the Texas Attorney General
Please consider reaching out to Attorney General Ken Paxton and sharing your personal birth experience. Explain how midwifery care impacted you and your family, and why access to Licensed Midwives matters to Texans.
Ask the Attorney General’s office to support fair treatment of midwives and to stop what many perceive as an unfair targeting of the profession. Midwives deserve the same fairness and respect afforded to other licensed professionals in Texas.

5. Talk About Midwifery
Share your birth stories and experiences with others. Conversations about birth choice and positive midwifery care are powerful and help educate families and communities.
6. Support “Birthing Revolution” — The Midwife Documentary
One important way to support midwifery is by helping more people learn about the incredible work midwives do for mothers, babies, and families. I personally have been a part of this project. It is near completion and needs support to finish and share throughout the state.
