About Us |
|
motherwise birth resources (mbr) is a group of mothers united by the need to advance birth options in our community. mbr promotes education and supports accessibility of birth options as an active information resource. mbr promotes the Midwives Model of Care and the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative, and works to bring the normalcy of birth to the community. mbr believes that the natural process of birth and mothers educated in their birth options will empower women to be the guardians of their birth experiences.
We are women. We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and neighbors. We are bonded by our passion for birth and self-determination. We are a small group of women who have experienced medicated and un-medicated hospital vaginal births, cesarean sections, repeat cesarean sections, vaginal births after cesarean section and home births. We have had IVs, pitocin, epidurals, massages, fetal heart monitors, baths, showers, doulas, partners, friends and family involved in our births. We have been attended by in-hospital midwives, out-of-hospital midwives and OB/Gyns.
We believe women have the right to guide their own birth experience. We want to help support all women with their choices and empower them in their choice. The only bad choice is one you don’t make yourself. |
