Dear Andrea and all I might be sticking my nose out here, but I found this response rather interesting. The concerns that I read on ozmid were real for those who wrote them and were formed from a range of experiences. I havn't had any personal experience with Pat or Nicky but know of them through reputation, none the less I would think comments would be appreciated and taken into account as these were not personal attacks. Maybe the comments are coming too soon for this particular model, and we could see them as a wish list not so much as critisism. There is a saying that goes something like "if we both agree on something, then one of us isn't thinking" I hope all women do get access to midwifery care, it is going to be essential if we want vaginal birth to still be an option in our future. cheers Megan.
