has delivered close to 1,500 babies since 1985. “They end up finishing the delivery. They just pull the babies out.” For Bellinson, involving parents


in the birthing process is part of a midwifery practice begun almost a quarter century ago at Montefiore Medical Center in the northeast Bronx. It’s a diverse, densely populated part of New York City with many of the problems seen in other low-income neighborhoods across the country—teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease, and lack of prenatal care. Her practice focuses on


prenatal care, a central part of the effort to reduce not only maternal deaths during childbirth, but also miscarriages and the birth of low- weight babies, who are prone to medical problems. “With good prenatal care, the


baby and the woman both end up healthier,” says Bellinson. “If you catch things early, you can avert disaster.” —David McKay Wilson
