Wilmington, North Carolina is participating in the Improving Birth National Rally for Change! What is it, you may ask? This Labor Day – September 3rd – at 105 locations across the country, people are gathering to bring awareness to the need for evidence-based maternity care, bring awareness to the growing number of unnecessary inductions of labor and unnecessary cesarean sections, and bring awareness to the need for birth options in our community. This HUGE movement was started by Improving Birth and is already being noted as the largest women’s movement in decades!
