Lyn,
I recently completed a research project for a university course on homebirths. The objective of the project was to identify a topic and find a number of resources on the subject. I was focusing on finding resources to help my husband and myself make the final decision on whether to have a homebirth or not. While all my chosen resources will not be applicable to you, I hope that some are useful. Sally Joyce ============ Allison, J. 1997, Delivered at home.
