Hi Vicki, I heard Andrea in 1994 guide the group in "Why are you doing this and is really necessary" and the example she gave was x-raying a child's possibly broken toe. Why would you x-ray a toe, to find out if it was broken, then what would you do? Not much but we would know. To day I offer this suggestion to all pregnant women I have contact with in clinics or classes. I am sure Andrea will remember the research.   Cheers   Gabrielle ----- Original Message ----- From: Vicki Chan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 12:20 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Is it really necessary? Dear all... anyone recall the research many years ago that had half the subjects ask the question "is it really necessary" when faced with the prospect of intervention.....? Astounding changes to the outcome of birth. A reference would be great! Vicki
