I think most people would agree that we've got some problems with our maternity care in the United States. The cesarean and other intervention rates are skyrocketing and yet women are reporting that they aren't happy with their care. All the while some babies are suffering from our maternity care system when they shouldn't have to do so...

So thanks to Citizens for Midwifery (CfM) for putting together a really cool handout called Three Models of Care it includes the Midwives Model of Care, The CIMS Ten Steps and the Lamaze Normal Birth Care Practices. Wow, it's just cool. This is a great tool for childbirth educators, doulas, doctors, midwives, everyone who has a chance to interact with pregnant women and their families!
