Our Manifesto
We began as a grass roots movement, and now spread positivity about childbirth via online courses and social media.
We believe that every woman deserves a positive birth.
We think a positive birth means:
- Women are where they want to be
- Choices are informed by reality not fear
- Women are listened to and treated with respect and dignity
- Mothers are empowered and enriched
- Memories are warm and proud
Our movement exists because, at a global level, many women are聽not聽currently having a positive birth.
We hold the birth experience to be of fundamental importance, to mothers, to fathers, to babies, to families and to society.
We wish to change birth for the better.
We aim to:
