[ozmidwifery] A late request

[Mrs Joanne M Fisher]

Hi Juliana, I know this is a bit of a late reply but I would love to read your "Masters" paper, this is a topic especially interesting for me, or at least have the list of references.  I am in Brisbane, where are you?  Are you getting your paper published in the ACMA journal?
