Hi Anne,
There is a book on lotus birth called "Lotus Birth" compiled by Shivam
Rachana, Greenwood Press, Steeds Creek, Australia, 2000. I think i got my
copy from acegraphics. The book covers some information on medical evidence
with articles by Dr. Sarah Buckley "Leaving well alone. A natural approach
to the third stage of labour" as well as some story telling by women who
chose lotus birth and that's what i call women's evidence. Both forms of
evidence as just as valid as each other.
cheers
kathy
