Wow, thanks so much for posting this! I have been trying to find more information about this since I didn't understand the wording of the original media release, but this has confirmed what I had thought.
This is a great advance! I think it will allow more women to see a midwife for a straight forward pregnancy (exactly what they are best equipt for), leaving obs to deal with the more complicated/surgical situations (exactly what they are best equipt for).
