Hi all, I also took that last bit as being positive, but I've still yet to hear real stories of women in hospitals pushing for longer than a few hours in most cases, at least in my area. Also just to keep adding to our own stories, I have yet to see an OP birth with the women I have given care

Hi all, Am in the midst of an assignment which includes a critical analysis of contemporary midwifery. I need some references to validate what I'm saying - fragmented care vs continuity of care, educational methods, medical dominance, socially constructed health care systems, mechanistic view

Hello all These researchers would be better spending their research dollars on a copy of 'optimal fetal positioning' or 'the labour progress handbook'. It is the most redundant and wasteful piece of research I have seen. If it such an obstetric challenge then why not do some investigation
