I am giving a talk on midwifery to a group of obstetricians next week. We are in the US but I am interested in comparing our model of care with other countries. I am having a particularly difficult time finding descriptive statistics on midwifery practice in other countries. I would like to know the percentage of births attended by midwives vs. physicians in the UK, Scandanavia, continental Europe, Australia. A comparison of perinatal outcomes for these countries would also be helfpul. Can anyone help? Note: references for information are essential. Thanks, Jo
