Have you given birth in the last three years? If so, take The Birth Survey and provide feedback on your experience, your doctor, midwife, birth center, or hospital at www.TheBirthSurvey.com Women providing women with insight into maternity care practices in their communities. It has been easier to get consumer satisfaction information about a camera than about maternity care services – but no longer. The Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS) has developed www.TheBirthSurvey.com a consumer feedback website where women provide information about the maternity care they received - with specific doctors, midwives, hospitals, and birth centers. Families choosing where and with whom to birth can utilize this consumer feedback, along with data on hospital and birth center intervention rates and practices, to make informed health care choices. |
The Midwife Archives is a collection of information about all aspects of pregnancy, birth and well-woman care from a midwifery perspective. Compiled and maintained by Ronnie Falcão, a homebirth midwife in Mountain View, California.
The Midwife Archives originated as Ronnie Falcão's notes from discussions on the various email lists hosted at fensende.com. It has grown to include links to lots of other relevant sites. The Midwife Archives is now maintained on Ronnie Falcão's web site - gentlebirth.org.
NEW! Search all of gentlebirth.org, including the Midwife Archives.
There is currently no mirror site, since my current host service, verio.com, has good redundancy.

Much of the information in these pages is extracted from conversations on the birth-related distribution lists at fensende.com. As such, the information wasn't necessarily presented in a straightforward, linear fashion. Consequently, the organization of these pages is somewhat haphazard.
This page contains a sort of Table of Contents.
At the bottom of this page and every page in the Midwife Archives, you can access a search engine for these pages.
