Title: Midwives in Finland??

Päivi is our Finnish friend on here. She could tell you
more. She mentioned going to Germany so maybe she isn't around at the
moment.

Do we have any Finnish midwives on list?
If not
does anyone know of any?
An Australian woman in Finland is looking for
a Homebirth midwife.
She was horrified by the following
I just
want to quote to you the section of the information booklet I received called
'we're having a baby'.
This section is titled 'admission routines' and it
says:
'The following procedures will be carried out on admission. First
you will be weighed and washed and asked to change into hospital clothes. You
will then be given an enema, as an empty bowel gives the baby more room. Your
pubic hair may be shaved off. Your blood pressure and pulse will be taken and
your urine tested for protein and glucose. An external and internal
examination will be made to determine the baby's size, the size of your pelvis
and how far the cervix is dilated'.
