Following on from this Obstetrician's comment:
If you had a choice, would you choose to give birth in a midwifery led unit (where there is emergency transport available and hospital closeby), or would you prefer an obstetric model of care? I wonder if 10% is reflective of the BellyBelly membership?"As for the mothers themselves, a study of women in Victoria (by the Victorian Government) concluded that only 10 per cent of women preferred the midwife-led option. This does not justify the use of taxpayers' money for a scheme that most parents do not want". -- Dr Pieter Mourik, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, Wodonga
