[ozmidwifery] urgent help for Another victorian birthing unit

[Tracy Smith]

Can anyone assist with ammunition for a meeting in the morning which is instrumented to look at eliminating Primips and inductions from an incredible public birthing unit on the Mornington Peninsula Victoria. Obstetricians and upper management are suggesting primips are not low risk  and nor are inductions. They want to prevent them from accessing the unit. We desperately need to know if anyone has examples / evidence of units operating elsewhere with midwife led care as the only option?. Has anyone evidence to suggest the outcomes for primipara women and their babies in a midwifery led care model??   I know this is way short notice but it was only presented to us about 10mins ago and the meeting is at 8.00 in the morning!   Thanks for your time – passionate but desperate Peninsula midwife
