Just read this - I wonder if they will end up doing something at my local hospital to shut down a lot of what they do there? I just found out that the entire ward is completely Midwife led (though no homebirths unfortunately) and OB's are only called in if things start to go wrong or if the mother requests it.
Kind of makes you wonder what is so different between a Midwife-led ward and a homebirth with easy access to the hospital if things go wrong?
