The Birth Survey

As you are making your way through pregnancy and birth you should have THE BEST of care. The Birth Survey allows you to rate your care provider(Dr.s and Midwives) so that the good ones get the credit they deserve and the "not so good ones" don't get us as patients anymore. It also shows hospitals c-section rates and VBAC rates. Please take the time to fill out this survey after you give birth. If you have had a bad experience - protect other women from seeing that care provider so they don't have the same experience. If you liked your provider - please share so that more women get the care they deserve. You can fill it out if you have given birth within the last three years and it takes about 30 minutes. Thank You!

The Projects Goals

Our goal is to give women a mechanism that can be used to share information about maternity care practices in their community while at the same time providing practitioners and institutions feedback for quality of care improvement efforts.

At the heart of the project is an on-going, online consumer survey, The Birth Survey, that asks women to provide feedback about their birth experience with a particular doctor or midwife and within a specific birth environment. Responses will be made available online to other women in their community who are deciding where and with whom to birth. Paired with this experiential data will be official statistics from state departments of health listing obstetrical intervention rates at the facility level.
