I am writing an article for the Journal of Finnish Midwives. We have a little hospital in Finland using hot packs during several years and their episiotomy rate has gone lower year by year. I found an article from internet, writtten by Heather ( abstract of a smaller sudy ), but if You have any other articles, or You know more studies done, pleas let me know. I need latest on the end of this week ... Have a nice week, I am living here on the other side of the world, in Finland ( on the west from Russia and east from Sweden ). I write You more after I have heard more from You! Yours sincirely Maija ( please, exuse my english, I did not have time to use the dictionary, but I hope, You understand me anyway ... ) -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
