Today we hold space for all families who have experienced the heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss. If you know this pain, we are here for you.

New research from our friends at Birth Place Lab helps us understand how respectful care can make a difference during times of loss. The findings remind us how important compassionate, respectful care is for every family, and that care providers must get educated about pregnancy loss.

Signal boost on behalf of Community Doula Program President Dr. Melissa Cheyney:

"Have you used Spinning Babies® or similar techniques during labor?

Whether you're a parent who used them in your own birth—or an OB-GYN, L&D nurse, midwife, or doula—we’d love to hear from you!

We’re gathering real-world insights to design a clinical trial to test them.

Our goal is to understand which techniques are used most frequently and why, and then to utilize these insights to design a clinical trial to test them.
