Thanks Deb for bringing this article to my
attention! I was appalled and zapped off an answer to the paper, suggesting they
should also interview someone who has had a normal birth,( without the drugs,
mother/baby separation, the need for O2 in the headbox in the SCN, and pethidine
haze necessitating wheelchair delivery of expressed milk). I will keep you
posted if they reply. No wonder some women choose medicalised birth if
they see it reported in the popular press and the negatives are brushed over in
half a sentence.
