Home, Hospital, Birth Center? A Critical Appraisal of Birth Settings in the U.S.

Presented in collaboration with the Motherhood and Technology working group:

As hospital births became the norm over the course of the 20th Century, the percentage of women giving birth at home took a nosedive. In the past few decades, however, home births have started regaining popularity among women who fear the impersonality of the hospital setting. Join OB/GYN Dr. Andrei Rebarber and Certified Nurse Midwife Cara Muhlhahn for an illuminating discussion on the landscape of birth settings in the U.S., how our model compares to other countries, and how we can increase collaboration between hospitals and midwives to provide safer birth experiences. 

This event is being organized by Saving Mothers, an NYC-based 501(3)(c) dedicated to improving the reproductive and maternal health of women worldwide. 

Tickets are free, but please register in advance.
