MISSION
The mission of BirthNetwork National is to promote the awareness and availability of mother-friendly maternity care. BirthNetwork National is leading a grassroots movement based on the belief that birth can profoundly affect our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. BirthNetwork National advocates mother-friendly care, as defined by the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative (MFCI). By making informed choices and having confidence in the process, families can experience safe and satisfying childbirth.


A New Chapter of BirthNetwork National Here in Shreveport-Bossier!
This is a very exciting time for us as we embark on this new project to bring BirthNetwork to our area. Eventually, we will hold free monthly meetings with topics such as comfort measures for labor, birth plans, and finding the right doula for you. This is going to be a wonderful way to improve maternity care in Shreveport-Bossier by promoting this concept: "It's your birth, know your options."

Volunteers Needed
Many people have expressed an interest in birth work, but do not have the time to be educators or doulas. This is a perfect way to be involved with a small time commitment. Please consider attending this meeting to decide if this organization is a good fit for your skills and interests. We need lots of help!
