We are trying to compile a list of translations for the word midwife. If anyone and everyone who is multilingual could email me their translations that would be great. We are especially after indigenous translations. We would like to put the list on a Tshirt for ICM so would like to represent as many countries/groups as possible.   Renee Kludas NSW Midwives Association Inc PO Box 62 Glebe 2037 P+ 02 9281 9522 F+ 02 9281 0335 E+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] W+ www.nswmidwives.com.au
