a website for all your birthing needs.
RIBN supports gentle birth - a birth that is designed by mother, baby, and family - one that is respected and supported by the medical provider and medical facility. Gentle birth recognizes both natural and medically assisted births; it simply means that the choice is yours- a choice based in confidence, awareness and respect for the process.
We strive to educate women and families about the benefits of evidence-based care, which provides that medical standards should not be imposed in birth, but used in birth if medically necessary. Our goal is to make birthing better for women, babies and partners throughout the state, building bridges with birthing professionals to see it through.
RIBN wants to help you realize the potential for your birth day, providing you with options so you can make informed decisions and look forward to the experience of welcoming your new baby.
