Point taken Belinda - sorry if my comments caused offense - good and bad in 
all professions, absolutely, just that we have had a few issues of late with 
out of date and inappropriate advice being given and I was perhaps a little 
over-sensitive.  I passed on the info re episiotomies to the physio and she 
was not offended by that - I guess the important thing is to have correct 
info from whatever source.

----- Can I just caution blanket statements against professions. 15years 
ago
it
was in antenatal classes led by a physio that I learnt and became
passionate
about active drug free birth and breastfeeding. I worked hard and achieved
everything I wanted for my birth with the very sound advice and joyful
learning she gave us as a group. the hospital I birth at had never seen
birth plan before and the midwives asked if they could keep it. I recently
complained about a midwife 'educating' women about the benefits of a neat
cut compared to a mutilating tear (words powerful enough to elicit
agreement
I think!) in antenatal classes. Thereare good and bad in all professions,
including midwifery medicine physio etc lets not exclude or vilify the
whole
in case we lose the good ones. all of us working to increase women's
choices
experiences and decrease intervention etc  need support
