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.
