Hi Kelly,I'm coming in very late on this discussion but just wanted to add my two cents worth. I like birth plans for a few reasons: 1. they show the women that they do have a choice in things ... alot of women still assume they have to do whatever they're told 2. my experience is that
Hi Nat,When I was doing my mid training my preceptor and I used to talk about the 'obstetric demons' that sometimes come and sit on your shoulder!! But if you look into the research on homebirth you will find that in healthy women, the outcomes are comparable or better than hospital birth. As

Hi Lisa,
This illustrates the point I made earlier. If a message is sent to
several lists at the same time, your ISP may decide that it is a spam
email. We are definitely not blocking anyone's emails - again

Hi Everyone,
Can I first stress that this list is not moderated - no-one checks

Everyone is welcome here!

for this birth by using techniques which calm the mind and tone the body. Employ
a midwife you trust and then 'get on with it".

you stopped driving a car, or being a passenger? Awful things do happen, and
sometimes they aren't predictable. Even with hospital and birth centre births
things happen. You will see awful things in hospital, a lot due to
mismanagement and interventions. Ponder deeply, pray and
talk.
