Birthing Magazine was born of the heart back in 1997. Now, 12 years later, the goal has not changed: to provide Canadian families with information about pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. Our goal is to educate women on the unlimited birth options available to them. We emphasize alternatives for which information may not always be as easy to find, topics such as midwifery care, homebirth, extended breastfeeding and attachment parenting.

Over the years, the magazine has featured research articles from influential advocates of midwifery and homebirth. Many articles are produced in Calgary using references to material published by internationally known birth supporters like:

Sheila Kitzinger, Birth Activist
Robbie Davis-Floyd, Cultural Anthropologist
Henci Goer, Researcher
Marsden Wagner, Physician
Ina May Gaskin, Midwife
Barbara Harper, Midwife
Gloria Lemay, Birth Attendant

Birthing Magazine has grown and matured while staying true to its roots. It continues to be a voice that speaks to mothers about a broader range of alternatives.
