[ozmidwifery] CPD stories

2007-02-25 Thread Ken Ward
Met a woman who told me she had had a C/S for CPD with 1st bub. Had a home
birth with 2nd, who was 2lb heavier.  I believe CPD does occur, but is very
rare.
As with 'fetal distress', also does occur, it's often used for an excuse to
section a woman. We need to accept that sometimes there is a genuine need to
interfere. Looking at the improvement in outcomes for women and babies, and
seeing the awful things happening in the Developing world there is a need
for some obstetric intervention in some cases.  I do agree that our rate of
intervention is far too high, and often have a song and dance about it.

There was/is a US Obs professor out of Austin Texas said he used to believe 
in it but that is like rocking horse  !

Let us support one another, not just in philosophy but in action, for the 
sake of freedom for all women to choose exactly how and by whom, if by 
anyone, our bodies will be handled.
