I saw that article it looked good. Congratulations
to the woman but she did nt mention that home birth was not for everyone as
there are some valild medical reasons why you cant birth at home. From:
owner- Hi everyone, I’ve just received a very excited email from one of
our great consumers here in Adelaide to tell me that she has had an article
about homebirth printed in today’s Sunday Mail, entitled “No place like home
for giving birth”. It’s on page 44. I can’t access it
electronically but she has it saved and when she sends it I’ll send it onto the
list. I’ve attached my letter to the Ed, hope there is a flood of letters
that are controversial enough to be printed next week! Tania X I am writing in support of the fantastic and
heartfelt column written by Louise Mathwin - "No place like home for
giving birth". I too have experienced the professional care of a
midwife - the expert in normal pregnancy and birth care, for both of my pregnancies,
and as a trained midwife myself, have to say that it's the best money I've ever
spent. Homebirth and exclusive midwifery care is not
for every woman, but research tells us that women of all levels of risk have
better outcomes when they are cared for by a known midwife, in conjunction
with, where appropriate, medical and/or obstetric
staff. Our soaring caesarean section rate, in some
hospitals in excess of 50%, is not solely as a result of women choosing.
