What our members are saying

"I was thinking about what motivates me to keep doing what I do for Birth Forward and, apart from my own personal birth experience, what motivates me is really you girls! Just wanted to say a big thank you for what you keep doing. For me, being part of Birth Forward is like a dream come true, no kidding. At the event today it felt so good being able to talk to all those women, they were so interested in what we do and what we had to say about natural birth."
