----- >>how about the 'woman friendly birth centre'?

There's a lot of different definitions of that one. Just had a placement 
with a m/w who promoted woman-friendly over baby-friendly. Her idea of w-f 
was to have longer hospital stays, baby in nursery, bottlefed until woman's 
milk comes in. She theorised that it would give mother a chance to sleep, 
recover from the birth, and remove the stress of a hungry baby unable to 
feed.

Just doesn't gel to me.
