 The Central New York Chapter of BirthNetwork National will be closing as of October 15, 2009 due to lack of interest.
This site will then become my site to advertise my childbirth education classes. Jody Brown
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,
post-partum 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.
