Midwifery in Oklahoma

Oklahoma has no state regulations prohibiting or restricting the practice of Direct Entry Midwives.

Heaven Sent Birth midwives adhere to the guidelines, ethics of practice, and principals set forth by the Midwives Alliance of North America, guidelines. We are currently involved in the MANA Statistics Project and were involved in the CPM 2000 Statistics Project.
