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.
