Commonsense Childbirth Inc., is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization which was founded in 1998 by midwife Jennie Joseph who has dedicated her life to helping women and families have better birth experiences. Over the years their work has grown beyond the birth room and they have made a positive impact on birth outcomes for high-risk communities. Their data has shown statistically significant improvements on low birth weight, prematurity, infant mortality, and maternal mortality rates, reducing and in some cases eliminating persistent racial and class disparities.
