Her project stood out so much that her teacher invited her to bring the campaign to life in a real-world setting. Elliot will be joining us over Christmas break to help put her ideas into practice.

During her time with us, Elliot will be tracking engagement and performance metrics from her content and incorporating those findings into her DECA project gaining hands-on experience while contributing meaningfully to our work.

Elliot is a sophomore at Liberty High School, a dedicated member of the swim team, and has aspirations of pursuing a career in forensic science. We’re proud to support young leaders who are learning, growing, and using their skills in impactful ways.

The New York Times has released another headline highlighting rising hospital C-section rates, and it’s adding fuel to an already-critical conversation. Techniques like Spinning Babies®, movement in labor, and position changes have been long used by midwives, doulas, and out-of-hospital birth workers. Now hospitals are “discovering” what the midwifery model has always known: when you support the physiology of birth, outcomes improve.
This isn’t new science — it’s long-standing, evidence-based care. And it’s exactly why Midwives Are the Answer.

Big news! The New York Times just published an article on innovative approaches helping lower C-section rates, and Spinning Babies® is featured as part of this critical shift in birth care. 🙌

We’re honored to see our physiology-first approach highlighted for its impact on birth professionals and families.

Amid national conversations sparked by The New York Times’ “Worst Test in Medicine,” it’s important for our community to know that evidence-based maternity care is already happening right here in Colorado Springs. At birth centers like Beginnings, midwives use proven, research-backed approaches—such as Intermittent Auscultation—to monitor labor safely, respectfully, and without unnecessary intervention. These practices consistently support healthy outcomes for both moms and babies.

As we share this thoughtful Letter to the Editor, we’re reminding Colorado Springs that modern, evidence-based care isn’t a future goal—it’s the foundation of midwifery today. Your local birth center is already doing the work. Midwives Are the answer.

NYTimes Letter to the Editor ✒️

Many of you may have already seen the NY Times article "The ‘Worst Test in Medicine’ is Driving America’s High C-Section Rate" (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/health/electronic-fetal-monitoring-c-sections.html?unlocked_article_code=1.108.XT6J.Y2YuWc0Xc01e&smid=url-share ).
AABC sent a Letter to the Editor in response! Since our letter did not get published, we wanted to share it with you all here.

Dear Editor,

Thank you for highlighting the overreliance on continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) and its role in rising Cesarean rates.

There is a solution to this epidemic. Midwifery-led birth centers use intermittent fetal monitoring instead of continuous EFM. They are an evidence-based model that delivers outcomes comparable to those of the top nations globally by offering holistic, family-centered care that protects and empowers patients, thereby enhancing both physical and mental well-being in our community.

Birth centers are fully integrated into the healthcare system and guided by principles of prevention, safety, appropriate medical intervention, and cost-effectiveness. While midwifery care can occur elsewhere, birth centers are unique in offering this dedicated, physiologic model.
Outcomes speak for themselves:
-Cesarean rates under 6%
-NICU admissions less than half the national average
-Low rates of interventions with superior overall outcomes

These results demonstrate the clinical excellence and fiscal prudence of the birth center model, reducing complications and costs while maintaining world-standard safety, lowering maternal mortality risk, and prioritizing maternal autonomy and satisfaction.

Respectfully,
Kate Bauer
Executive Director
American Association of Birth Centers
Perkiomenville, PA

Meanwhile at Beginnings… we believe every woman deserves care that listens, connects, and responds — even in the small moments. That’s why we’re just a text away. 💜
Because when communication is easy, care is better.
