I invite you and every mom you know who has delivered in the last 3 years to go to www.thebirthsurvey.com and share your birth experience.  This information will then be taken and added to the other mom's who have delivered in your area, at your hospital, with your care provider and will be published in a user friendly format so women can go online and see intervention rates for various hospitals and care providers.  This transparency in maternity care has been years in the making and will only to serve to improve maternity care in the US.

The results will also be compared with data released by each hospital to ensure that the rates we are seeing from moms are the same as are being reported by a hospital.  This should help quality improvement throughout the maternity system.  

This is a fantastic way to make a difference in your community regarding maternity care.  Thank you for spreading the word-your voice will make a difference!
