The RI Birth Network is a volunteer network of childbirth professionals, parents and others who are interested in promoting and celebrating gentle options for the childbearing years.

 

Welcome to RIBirth.net, the premier online resource for Rhode Island parents and parents-to-be, who are looking for care providers, educators, doulas and others who support and encourage empowered decision-making during the childbearing years and beyond.


In addition to maintaining this ever-expanding online resource, the Rhode Island Birth Network (RIBN) hosts numerous “Sharing Circles” throughout the state at which women gather to connect and support each other through the sharing of birth and parenting stories. We also host two major annual events – a Celebration of Motherhood in the spring, and a Fall Forum in, you guessed it, the fall!


This Web site and the Rhode Island Birth Network was created out of a shared vision and hope for increasing access to information and informed decision-making among parents and parents-to-be, and as a resource for professionals – both medical and holistic providers – who support this vision.


There are many ways to become involved and support this important work including, attending an upcoming meeting/event, becoming a member of RIBN, volunteering for one of our dynamic and active leadership teams, and helping spread the word that the tide is turning in Rhode Island as women are reclaiming their right to the birth experience they desire.


We’re so happy to have you join us on this journey!


Sincerely,

Erin Barrette Goodman
Founder and President, Rhode Island Birth Network
