Dear Lieve, thank you for sharing this article. Thank you also for the one you posted recently on waterbirth. It is great to hear about published research confirming the benefits of waterbirth. This is particularly useful when the original published information was in another language. When I do research I usually only search in english data bases, so sharing this with the list is particularly helpful. Kind regards, Lois
