Re: [ozmidwifery] Today Show

I just saw the video feed of it from their website.   I thought it wasn't too bad, for the Today show, actually!   The same doctor was on last week forcefully advocating vaccinations, so I was pleasantly surprised to see him advocating natural, minimal intervention birth also.    I guess the topic of discussion was the research, which was about using water for pain relief in slow labours, not about water birth... I think that's why they made the distinction (albeit about 3 times!)   Jo   ---- Original Message ---- From: megan davidson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 8:24 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Today Show > Did anyone catch the Today show's attempt at covering water immersion > in labour ("lets make this clear we are not talking about having > babies under water").
