 The Central New York Chapter of BirthNetwork National

Our Mission:
The mission of BirthNetwork National is to promote
the awareness and availability of mother-friendly maternity
care.
BirthNetwork National is leading a grassroots movement based on the
belief that birth can profoundly affect our physical, mental and
spiritual well-being. BirthNetwork National advocates mother-friendly
care, as defined by the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative (MFCI). By making informed choices and having confidence in the process, families can experience safe and satisfying childbirth.
We Believe:
- Birth is a normal, healthy process, not
an illness or disease.
- Empowering births can take place in
birth centers, hospitals and homes.
- Women are entitled to complete and
accurate information on their full range
of options for pregnancy, birth,
postpartum and breastfeeding.
- Women have a right to make health
care decisions for themselves and their
babies. That right includes Informed
Consent as well as Informed Refusal.
