Why am I receiving renewal notices already?

There are several possibilities.

  1. Your subscription may have been entered after the renewal notice was generated. In this case, the notices will stop soon.
  2. You have two or fewer issues of Midwifery Today left in your subscription. Renewal notices for Midwifery Today begin when there are two issues remaining in your subscription. Please disregard the notices if you are not ready to renew. Note that the first renewal notice contains a discount if you renew early.
  3. One or more of your issues did not arrive so it seems that the subscription should not be due for renewal. Please e-mail admin@midwiferytoday.com if you believe you are missing issues. Please provide your mailing address so we can check the accuracy of our records.

If you believe your expiration issue is incorrect or you have any other subscription problems, please e-mail admin@midwiferytoday.com for assistance.
