The Birth Survey


For years, consumers have enthusiastically shared online reviews of movies, restaurants, products and services, but readily available information about maternity care services was nearly unattainable—but no longer. The Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS) has developed The Birth Survey, a consumer feedback website where women provide information about the maternity care they received from specific doctors, midwives, hospitals, and birth centers. Families choosing where and with whom to birth can utilize this consumer feedback, along with data on hospital and birth center standard practices and intervention rates, to make more informed health care choices.

The Birth Survey began in New York and is now available in Oregon and nationwide.

Have You Given Birth in the Last Three Years?


If so, take The Birth Survey and provide feedback on your doctor, midwife, birth center or hospital at The Birth Survey.
