About Us

BirthAction

BirthAction was born in 2008 out of a need for grassroots action from women.  We want women of all walks of life to come to BirthAction and say “I was heard” or include their voice in our work.

BirthAction is an organization founded by mothers for mothers, from mainstream to radical, to help each woman have a better birth through offering support and education.  The Birth After Cesarean arm of BirthAction is aimed at helping counter the cesarean epidemic through supporting women going through the birthing process.

We can make a change for our sisters, our friends, and our daughters.

We are here to listen to your stories, share your needs and hopefully answer them in a timely fashion!  We want to offer you a forum to come and find the solutions to your needs.  We also want you to have a place to give your talents and time to help other mothers.

Do you want to see what more moms like you think about birth?  Ever wonder, “What does normal look like in the birth process?”  Would you like information about how to achieve a natural birth?  Would you like the most updated research regarding pregnancy, birth and postpartum, including pregnancy complications, diagnosis in pregnancy, how to weigh information and make decisions that will affect you for life?  Would you like local resources for pregnancy or to know how to file a complaint?  Let us know what you need!

For more information or if you have any links we should add to any of our pages: info@birthaction.org
