I wonder where they got their data from?

Personally, I would prefer a birth centre over an Ob. I wouldnt ever have an ob for my pregnancy. Midwife care all the way for me. I wouldnt consider a hospital labour ward. I would like to have the continuity of care a midwife led centre can offer.

I was talking to the Family Day Carer today who has an almost 2 year olf son. She came over here from America and told me that her friends back home were amazed that she gave birth with midwives in a birth centre and not an ob. Apparently over there no one has a midwife for their first birth - they pretty much all go to a hospital and have an ob.
