It can be purchased through

Hi Gloria,

from the ICM where we were showing it on our trade stand. We had a lot of
positive comment and surprised reactions - many midwives are not seeing
vaginal twin births at all these days and to think that a

What the Nice Guideline have based the bulk of their guideline
on are the following three studies. All of these studies have randomized high
and low risk pregnancies.

Pete, the only problem is that the somebodies, in positions of power, have
set a standard that a reasonable midwife has to adhere to, or suffer the
consequences if there is an adverse outcome, ie, a dead or compromised baby.

Who in the real world does this anyway with a normal labour?

Why is this so?
