I also have just finished rading the same
article, adn was just as disappointed with the little story on the lovely birth
centre family as opposed to the organized "delivery" of the lady following her
two planned caesars. sad that its coming to this......Pauline

There is a page article re rising caesarean rates
in todays Herald Sun (melbourne) - there was a smallish article with
lovely comments about empowerment in an interview with a woman who
had a new baby at Mercy birth centre, but a bigger pic of a "superwoman" who
had 2 elective caesars as she is a "very organised person" - went home 28
hours after her planned caesar last Christmas Eve and did a load of washing
and cleaned the house - nothing mentioned about effects on bonding.
Interestingly she works with wild life.
Definitely a letter opportunity.
