Cow's Milk is the "Perfect Food"... for Baby Calves
To receive CIMS designation as "mother-friendly," a hospital, birth center, or home birth service must carry out our philosophical principles by fulfilling the Ten Steps of Mother-Friendly Care:
A mother-friendly hospital, birth center, or home birth service:
They're fed up with the unwanted C-sections, the endless tests, the dubious interventions, and the scary advice from overworked, malpractice-spooked doctors. And Boston women are shunning the area's world-class hospitals to go to surprising lengths—and sometimes take big risks—to give birth on their own terms.

When I talk to women about the relatively recent history of childbirth -- mothers strapped to hospital beds, doctors not washing their hands between vaginal exams and performing caesareans without anesthesia -- their typical response is that we're lucky to live in this day and age.
That is true. But new dangers and indignities in standard maternity care have begun to replace the old ones. Most notably, health care providers are pushing expectant mothers to have medical interventions they may not need or want, and may be better off without.
When you are pregnant, you dream of the day when you will hold your angelic newborn in your arms.
If you are like most parents, your dreams don't include the possibility that instead, you'll be walking the floors with a baby who won't sleep or has colic, wondering just what it is you're doing wrong and why he doesn't like you.
What is midwifery? The professional care of normal, healthy childbearing women.
Jennie Joseph in her own words:
"The Art of Midwifery is in being able to provide a helpful human service, practice a medical profession, meet all around emotional and spiritual needs, maintain honesty, humility and respect all the while leading, advocating and supporting women and families towards a healthful and positive outcome."
Since 1979, I have been in love with this profession! The Birth Place is the culmination of all my dreams for a healthy birthing community. If you too, believe in the power and beauty of birth, then come join us at The Birth Place. We believe in FAMILY and we'll take great care of you and yours."
