Anyone hear Geraldine Doogue on Life Matters this morning interview with 2 women from La Trobe University (Dr Rhonda Small and Pranee Lianputtong) who have done some research around migrant women and the difficulites they face in australia related to childbirth the inadequacies of hospital childbirth care from point of view of migrant women - not too different to that of australian born women- lack of kindness from staff, lack of power felt by the women, high level of fear and isolation because they were left alone too much.   Sandra
