The birth centre would be affiliated though I'm guessing. So Schmickers, in essence this isn't a new thing that has all of a sudden happened, women have always had to get a script filled, but considering the current issues surrounding HB, this is a typical media beat up to turn a non-issue into a scandal? I always thought that the midwives provided those things because that was my understanding based on different things I have read supporting HB - like if you have a bleed then your midwife will have the syncto etc.
