Where are you getting these statistics from? I find this of interest for the research that I am pursuing at the moment.
Take care Alphia

Dear ozmid subscribers
If anyone has first-hand knowledge of any adverse or 'near miss' outcomes from any PLANNED UNATTENDED HOMEBIRTHS please send it to me privately.
There seems to be at least twice the number of unattended homebirths occurring in NSW than those attended by registered midwives.
Any information forwarded will be treated confidentially (your names will not be published) but accurate information of cases will be compiled in a list of 'horror stories' that ASIM will use to try and fast-track the funding of homebirths in NSW.
Every woman deserves her own midwife free of charge.
Thanks in anticipation Jan
