RE: [ozmidwifery] testing

You can always check at http://www.mail-archive.com/ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au/maillist.html to see if there was any mail you didn’t get.   I was wondering – are there any statistics for planned unassisted birth in low-risk pregnancies published anywhere? Since midwives are not qualified enough to be independent in Croatia (education at high-school level), and obstetricians are not allowed to practice outside of where they work, some women choose to birth at home, unassisted. I wonder if they are putting themselves and their children more at risk then if they choose to birth in hospitals with high intervention rates. It’s not black and white, I know, but it would be interesting to see the research.   Vedrana   From: owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au] On Behalf Of Lisa Barrett Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 11:51 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] testing   I was thinking the same thing Mary, it must just be quiet.
