The core of the group are active lay midwives who are working towards setting standards and gaining legal recognition for midwives. OAM puts out a quarterly newsletter, called "Issue." The group will provide information, if and when possible, to help people find a home-birth attendant. OAM also has conferences and workshops to help expand the knowledge and connections among mid-wives. Membership is open to all supporters for a $15 annual fee (sent to OAM P.O.

One of the members of the OAM operates a mail-order book and supply company for people who are looking for more information on birth, parenting and health care. An example is, "The Whole Birth Catalogue" which is available for $1.50 plus .50 cents postage. A free price list is available by sending a self addressed stamped envelope to The Whole Birth Catalogue, 20 London Rd. W., Guelph, Ontario, N1H 2B5. Subject Headings |
