Midwifery in the developed world is in a state of ferment and change - a phenomenon referred to as the "new midwifery." Nowhere is this state of change more apparent than in Canada. Reconceiving Midwifery offers state-of-the-art analyses of the new midwifery as it is practiced in this country.

Two decades after the Missouri Supreme Court upheld an injunction against the practice of midwifery, two midwives became lobbyists for the cause and, with the remarkable cooperation of friendly legislators and lobbyists, got a provision inserted in a health bill legalizing the practice of tocology, a synonym for midwifery that went unnoticed by legislators who voted for the lengthy bill in which it was inserted. Medical associations sued to invalidate this "stealth" provision but their efforts failed when the Missouri Supreme Court declined to grant standing to the doctors to "protect" the interests of the public. Thirteen years later, the practice of midwifery in Missouri remains legal.Part I "Mastering the Legislative Game With Stealth and Faith" tells the story of lobbying the legislation; Part II "The Physicians Go to Court; the Midwives "Lawyer Up'" tells the story of the legal fight to uphold the validity of the legislation.

Midwifery associations have an important role in several subjects such as professionalisation, developing neonatal health, reducing maternal-fetal mortality, planning labor, professional recognition, planning legislative regulations, developing the profession, and offering quality birth services. The purpose of this study is to explain the contributions of well-known midwifery associations in the world, and in particular in Turkey, to the professional development of midwifery, as well as similarities of midwifery associations in Turkey with other associations, including the position of Turkey in associationalism. The associations have enabled the profession of midwifery to progress, gain autonomy, be legally protected and become more professional. In order for the associations in Turkey to operate effectively, it is recommended that their membership is increased so as to represent more midwives and thus gain more political power and to advance evidence-based applications in midwifery care.
