Indigenous Birth of Alberta was created with the intention of bringing women's teachings and birth traditions back to indigenous women who grew up without it, especially at risk women and youth.
In doing so, we want to remove any barriers for indigenous women to access culturally appropriate and inclusive maternity care wherever they choose to birth.
This maternity care includes:
-pregnancy and birth support
-private midwifery care (when needed)
-cultural teaching workshops
-transportation to appointments, urban centres
-hospitality costs for out of community families
-breastfeeding support and equipment, when necessary
Please help us to bring birthing options to our women!
We have 6 women who have requested prenatal support, continuous birth support, Breastfeeding education and support and cultural teachings and gatherings.
We continue to find donations for strollers, nursing bras and maternity clothes and newborn/infant clothes, diapers and baby carriers.
