birth activist

In The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, the author strives to show people how "to start 'positive' epidemics of their own." That's exactly what we want to do.

We, as birth activists, are a gathering storm. Our growing numbers of individuals and groups striving for better prenatal/postpartum care and better births ascertain that the time is coming when the consumer's voice will be heard.

With a clear focus on mother-friendly maternity care and a passionate, positive energy for it, there's nothing to stand in our way for making our goal a reality, except maybe doubt, fear and anger.

With our eyes looking forward, we'll encourage each other when we go astray and make mother-friendly maternity care a social and medical epidemic. Keep up the good work!
