Re: [ozmidwifery] Jean Sutton

[Andrea Robertson]

Jean Sutton is in the UK at present - I heard her speak at a Conference in Birmingham 2 weeks ago. She is very dogmatic in her views, and will not brook any alternative opinion, but there is growing disquiet about her claims. A number of midwives have said to me that they have trouble following her arguments, which are not based on any direct evidence, but are all anecdotal. Some recent research has also challenged her claims (see MIDIRS June 2002 "Malpoisitions and malpresentations of the occiput: current research and practice tips).

Cheers,

Andrea
