Celebrate birth and promote alternative birth options in Illinois at the 3rd Annual Birth Ball! Gather with expectant and new parents, doulas, midwives, and others interested in birth as we party for a cause. All money raised this year goes to Health and Medicine Policy Reasearch Group to help establish a freestanding birth center in Illinois. See less

Highlights: Right to choose? In Illinois, options for out-of-hospital birth are limited as there are no freestanding birth centers and very few midwives can legally attend homebirths. Shocking stats According to the CDC, the Cesarean rate as of 2004 is 29.1%, which is an increase of 40% since 1996.
