Childbirth Survery....

[Justice2]

Wow, I had no idea that interventions were so widely used. I guess I need to pull my head out of the clouds...

Childbirth Survey (http://www.babyzone.com/features/content/display.asp?contentid=1298)

At least the article's author states the need to reevaluate interventions with evidence based care.

Oh, and another thing that annoyed me..." Once contractions were well established, 71 percent of women were not permitted to walk around."

That number is really awful.

Yea, that 71 percent surprised me most of all, how horrible.

I think it's so awesome that this info is out there on babyzone. It seems a lot of times that the more mainstream sources are really fluffy. I like that this degree of detail is presented in way that makes it seem very normal for women to want the numbers for themselves, rather than relying on their caregiver to process the info for them.
