For a Compassionate Maternity Care Culture

For Culturally Sensitive Care

All mothers deserve to learn, participate of, and pass down maternity and birth traditions of their own culture.

For less interventions at birth

All mothers deserve the option to decline cesarean and other interventions during birth.

For more birth options

All mothers deserve to have the type of birth they prefer in the place of their choice, surrounded by the people they love.

For well-rounded care

All mothers deserve complete maternity care that goes beyond pregnancy and birth.
