[ozmidwifery] terrible story

2004-02-02 Thread Rob and Claire Leslie-Carter
Dear Abby, This sounds so terrible. I hope your sister can carry on being a strong mother and get over this terrible set back. It all sounds like something from the 19th century. This sort of behaviour should be widely publicised to show that doctors and nurses can't manipulate women just

Dear Diane, I don't know if anecdotal evidence is what you are after, but my two friends who have had twins have both been post term. One was very angry after the event at being actively managed, and the other had a completely natural birth. The first was with the NHS (UK) and led by an ob,
