1. A change is coming for midwives in Michigan. Starting next month, they must be licensed to practice in our state.
The goal is to provide easily accessible information for mothers who want to have a midwife and adds a layer of protection for everyone as well.
Many midwives are already professionally certified, but the license requires extra accreditation, one that will help ease concerns about the profession.
The rules will take effect in August and current midwives can still apply for a license on michigan.gov/lara.

Adult tickets are available for $72 each on the event website in advance.
