Hi Vernon, The report you are seeking is called "Having a Baby in Europe" published by the WHO in the mid 80's. It looked at pregnancy care in the 32 countries in Europe, and was the preliminary report that led to the the 3 WHO Consensus Conferences on Appropriate care for pregnancy, birth abnd post partum. These three meetings (the story of how they were convened, the research they used and the recommendations that were adopted by the WHO ) are all described in "Pursuing the Birth Machine" by Marden Wagner (he chaired the meetings). This book is available from ACE Graphics - online ordering at www.birthinternational.com.au. WE also have copies of the "Having a Baby in Europe" report, although this is not oint he Web site, and you would have to phone us for a price - phone is 02 9519 5377. We also have some copies of a very interesting survey Michel Odent did on birth stats in Europe and elsewhere that we produced for one of Michel's visits to OZ.
