Dear friends
I already made my piece for the quilt. Tricia is a very strong woman

Hi wise midwives,

Rachel,
I only hear this from health
professionals. I don't hear it from women, not even the most mainstream hospy
birthing mamas with whom I deal. It's a very small percentage of women who
embrace this technology, and an even smaller number who knowingly embrace it. If

Active management is popular with women. Many women hate the 'not knowing'
that goes with physiological birth. They want to know how long labour will
