How long does it take to transfer to the tertiary unit? I don't have figures to back me up but my feeling is that the main difference b

We have the numbers to show that primips do well in a birth centre.  We don't do any inductions.  It's getting harder to provide women with the care they want.  Phone me if you want, I'll put you onto my boss. 0397770605  Maureen -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Tracy, If you go to the WHO web-site and click on publications and then do a search using "antenatal" you will find the "WHO Antenatal Care Randomised Trial: Manual for the Implementation of the New Model". (www.who.int/reproductive-health/publications/RHR_01_30/RHR_01_30_contents.en.html) On
