Association of Radical Midwives

The Association of Radical Midwives (ARM) is a UK Organisation for Midwives, Doulas, Mothers, and anyone concerned with the health of maternity services.

Its founding members were concerned at the increasing medical intervention of childbirth, and used the initials of 'Artificial Rupture of Membranes', a procedure which was becoming more common. ARM produces the quarterly journal Midwifery Matters.
