New Online Resource Aims to Educate Expecting Parents on All Options for Childbirth
Sacramento, CA- Today women researching their pregnancy are bombarded with piles of books and each book suggests on average 25 websites to visit on different topics to research further! Where can women go to research all of their childbirth options with out reading tons of books or doing hours of research? As of August 1, 2008 women across America have a new free resource to find ALL of their options in one place.
Better Birth America is the newest and most comprehensive resource for parents wanting to learn more about their options for labor and the birth of their children, fulfilling a long time need for non-bias information. Better Birth America consists of a network of over 20 websites in the top 20 “Best Cities (in America) to Have a Baby” as judged by Fit Pregnancy Magazine. Each site offers local information for expecting parents in the area while the national site (www.BetterBirthAmerica.com) gives general information for those who are not in the cities listed.
The websites offer information about local resources available to parents as well as different viewpoints and strategies for labor and birth. Some of the in depth information includes: different ways to prepare for childbirth, options for places to have babies, a glossary of pregnancy and childbirth related terms and information on common hospital procedures. Also available are listings for local childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, OB/GYN’s, lactation consultants, nutritionists as well as prenatal fitness, massage and alternative therapies.
“BetterBirthAmerica.com is a website that is committed to educating parents about the options regarding the birth of their baby. We believe that informed parents can make the best decisions for their families. Better Birth does not necessarily mean un-medicated birth, but it does mean that parents have a source to research many different options to guide them to a Better Birth experience,” states Jackie Belau, founder of Better Birth America. Belau, a 24 year old woman, who does not have children of her own, realized that most women were clueless as to the multitude of options available to them in their communities, so she started Better Birth America in the hopes that women could look back favorably at their birth experiences and know they made the best decisions for themselves.
August 1, 2008 Better Birth America will begin a Grand Opening Celebration lasting throughout the month. As part of the celebration, Better Birth America will be giving away daily prizes to those who fill in a poll on any of the website’s main pages.
