Through your network of friends and acquaintances, arrange to interview pregnant women about their thoughts and concerns about giving birth and the options they are considering.

After reviewing the Web sites of organizations that serve midwives and nurses, write one or more of these organizations an e-mail with any questions and concerns you have about their approach.

Visit the Midwives Alliance of North America's Web site to familiarize yourself with maternal and child health trends and advocacy issues.

Volunteer or acquire a part-time job at a hospital or health care facility.
