Each year, more than four million women give birth around the world. This means, no matter what you may be going through, and no matter how alone you might feel in the process, chances are someone else has experienced the exact same thing at one time or another. Lat year, the Maternity Center Association launched a nationwide survey evaluating the experiences of 1,600 recently pregnant women. The breakthrough study, “Listening to Mothers,” was designed to “provide healthcare providers, pregnant and parenting women, and the general public with a more complete understanding of the childbearing experience as it is experienced in America today.”<\/p>\n
