Good morning all...
Denise....please...what is FTP????
I tend to agree with Marilyn and Kirsten on this one.......I see this a really dangerous for women......Hospitals and many practitioners, OB's and midwives alike...will not stop their interventonist practices.......those practicises which we see every day that set the ball rolling for that 'cascade of intervention'.....so what will the women do who genuinely require a CS.......or require one due to the mismangement of her labour and birth.....Jo's recent story was a classic example of how the cascade gets happening..... Should the woman in Jo's story....who had an ARM at 8-9 cm....fetal scaple electrode.....for an unhappy baby....be penilised finacially should she have had that epidural and a CS...because her caregivers F*&%%# it all up?????I would argue she's been penilised enough!!!!!
Insurance companys will try and svae a dallor how ever they can....by not refusing to cover CS......it won't stop them happening!!! Woman will be just made to pay....finacially more so than before, as well as physically and emotionally!!!
Yours in reforming midwifery
Tina Pettigrew.
