Childbirth Initiative
The Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS)
has developed a list of philosophical principles that, when followed,
lead to healthier outcomes for mothers and babies. See Ten
Questions to Ask for a consumer friendly version of
the Initiative or for more information read the Mother-Friendly
Childbirth Initiative. These principles can be followed
by any maternity care provider and we highly recommend you find a
care provider who believes in and practices these principles.
