I received some good suggestions and followed up on them (scroll down for my q�s) I�m not sure if I can send an attachment to the list but I�ll try anyway. The attachment is an excellent, interesting, informative 3 page letter from Dutch Midwives. If the attachment is not successful but you�d like a copy then just contact me with your fax number or email address and I�ll forward it to you direct. hug Julie Clarke Childbirth and Parenting Educator Transition into Parenthood 9 Withybrook Pl Sylvania  NSW  2224 T.

By using comparison statistics we could strengthen our argument for more midwifery based services rather than our current system of too much unnecessary obstetric care. We are very interested to find out the statistics of birthing in Holland. How many women birth at home? Do you have natural birth centres and how many women choose to birth at them? How many women choose to birth in hospital? What models of midwifery care do you provide? What changes in birthing trends have there been in Holland over the past 50 years or so? What are the national or area statistics of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity? Do you do comparisons with other countries of the world? Are you able to email these figures to me? Are you able to email any articles of information to me? Do you have a web site in English I could visit?   Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
