The Story of Birth Network CNY...
In the summer of 2012, a group of women in the CNY area came together
to perform the play Birth—a play by
Karen Brody. Birth is a
documentary-style play based on over one hundred interviews conducted with
pregnant mothers across America about their birth experiences. Over
several months during our rehearsal process, we organically recognized our
individual and our community’s need for a consumer driven birth advocacy group
in CNY. While there are wonderful birth resources in CNY, there wasn’t a
consumer-advocacy group dedicated to providing women, babies and families the
full range of information about birth choices and evidence based research for pregnancy, birth, post-partum and
breastfeeding. BirthNetwork CNY was formed as an answer to promoting awareness and
offering women the full range of birth options and resources in our community.
Our intention is for ALL women, babies, and families to have access to
information, support, and resources that promote mother and baby friendly
initiatives.
