so with all the talk of statistics how about we do a poll of all the suggested ways for our statistics to see where bb sits??

C-sections termed emergency 9
C-sections termed elective 3

Vaginal births 56
Drug-free births 24
Epidural uptake 17
Labour artificially initiated 18
Labour artificially augmented 26
Instrumental birth rate by mode (forceps/ventouse) 9
episiotomy rate 6
2nd-4th degree tearing rates 18
midwife to patient ratios 1:1-28 2:1- 24 3:1- 3 4:1-2
ob to patient ratios1:1- 35 2:1 - 2
anaesthatist to patient ratios 1:1-11 2:1- 5
